"We have a tremendous commitment to our mission, which is to return people to health and to their lives. As neurosurgeons, we tend to be especially conservative because we have an understanding of the intricacies of the brain, spine and nervous system. We have great respect for the risk factors involved in any surgical procedure." Dr. Melisi has been in private practice since 1993.
