Our Team

The Johns Hopkins Peripheral Nerve Surgery Center is a multi-disciplinary clinic that focuses on the surgical repair of injured nerves, the removal of nerve tumors, and the decompression of nerve entrapments. 

Multi-disciplinary Care and the Practice of Neurosurgery

Working with other expert colleagues is of primary importance to our neurosurgeons. The surgical treatment of many nerve injuries and disorders relies heavily upon an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management planning. Surgical treatment is often a last resort, as the risks are many.

Often, the neurosurgeons at the Center rely on other world-renowned specialists who are experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. In the case of muscle reconstruction, Dr Allan Belzberg often consults with Dr Gene Deune or Dr Richard Redett, plastic surgery specialists with experience in these types of plastic surgery reconstructions. They can move muscle from one part of the body to another and Dr Belzberg performs the nerve transfer to innervate the muscle.

The Role of Imaging Expertise
