If you're over 45, understand what snow shoveling does to your body and brain.🧠

❄️Wet snow, heavy loads can put stress on the cardiovascular system.

If you're not in that physical shape, you're putting yourself at risk.

As we kick off 2026, I'm seeing patients make all kinds of health resolutions. 

But here's what I want you to know: your brain health isn't separate from your overall health—it's central to it.

I've learned that the most powerful interventions aren't complicated.

🧠 Our new Journal of Neurosurgery study shows ASCs are transforming neurosurgery:
→ 31% faster procedures
→ 100% patient satisfaction
→ <0.5% complications, and 20% better efficiency.

The future of neurosurgical care is here—delivering superior outcomes at lower costs.

Transforming Brain Care 🧠

Traditional treatment for subdural hematomas meant open surgery—removing bone to access and drain the hematoma. But we're changing that.

This is the future of neurosurgical care—and it's happening now.

December may increase stroke risk, though the exact reasons remain unclear.

There are proven ways to protect yourself:
👟 Stay active
👥 Engage social connection
🙏 Take time to breathe
🍽️ Be mindful of what you eat and drink
⚖️ Find your balance.

🚨Did you catch my interview with News 4 Buffalo anchors Kelsey Anderson & Dave Greber?

I was able to show off how UB Neurosurgery is rewriting the future of neurosurgery.

The UB Neurosurgery team performed the 1st outpatient carotid artery stent in the U.S. at Atlas Surgery Center. It was broadcast live at the 2025 Congress of Neurological Surgeons & demonstrates how advanced technology & ambulatory surgery centers can transform care.

UB Neurosurgery is leading the way with groundbreaking FIRSTS in outpatient neurosurgical care.

Innovation isn't just about technology. It's about reimagining what's possible for patients and providers.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of speaking with Emanuele Orru' at LINNC Paris 2025 about outpatient migration of neurotech and endovascular treatments. We are doing this in Buffalo, and I do not doubt that this is just the beginning for this groundbreaking practice.

I recently had the honor of speaking with WIVB News 4 Buffalo anchors Kelsey Anderson and Dave Greber. 

During that half hour, I showed off the groundbreaking medical procedures and equipment being used here at UB Neurosurgery.

How is Buffalo quickly emerging as the epicenter for breakthrough neurosurgery and medical innovation?

Our teams here are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in neurosurgical care.

A first for UBNS at our Atlas Surgery Center, as we started using the first Gamma Knife in an ambulatory neurosurgery center in the U.S.

This technology will enable our team to treat deep-seated brain pathologies with unparalleled precision.

I was recently asked about the use of sugar substitutes and the impact they can have on brain health. 

As we head into the holiday season here is my advice:
🥧Enjoy that festive meal
🥗Balance it with healthy options during the week
🏃‍♂️Get up and move to stimulate your brain

@KimKardashian recently announced she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. 

We are partnering with The Missy Project to find out why women could be at a greater risk for this. 

This will be a first-of-its-kind research project, and potential could be a game-changer.

Brain surgery in particular has shown to significantly impact families. While having these procedures done in an ambulatory setting isn’t a magic wand for these effects in general, I have found that it does reduce the stress of the procedure itself.

At LINNC Paris 2025 this past summer, I spent some time with Emanuele Orru' to discuss the outpatient migration of neurotech and endovascular treatment. Here’s a clip of this conversation, where I highlight one key point: Most patients, by far, would prefer to be in an outpatient setting.

I was asked to name my top three suggestions for improving or maintaining brain function and here's my answer:

🧠Exercise your brain just like you would any other muscle
🚲Physically move your body
🥗Eat a healthy diet

I’m thrilled to be part of this study evaluating the pre- and post-procedure use of portable MRI. We’ll be looking at its ability to detect post-op complications and how it can be best integrated into the surgical workflow. View the full press release here: http://bit.ly/474JhED

For #2025CNS, I was the MC at the Past Presidents’ Dinner. It was a beautiful night celebrating the Diamond Jubilee and honoring the presidents over the years who have led CNS to become the inimitable neurosurgical organization that it is today.

This afternoon, as part of #2025CNS, we broadcast the first carotid stent procedure from an outpatient center — ever — in the U.S. Thank you to those attending #2025CNS who joined us for this momentous event.
