Transcript
I'm Dr. Shayan Moosa, and I'm a neurosurgeon at the University of Virginia. I see a wide variety of patients, including those with movement disorders, spasticity, epilepsy, chronic pain, and peripheral nerve lesions. My expertise is in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, as well as pain and peripheral nerve disorders.
My desire to go into neurosurgery really progressed when I was a medical student. At that time, I was able to see how devastating neurological diseases can be for patients, but at the same time, I could also see how much of a profound impact neurosurgeons could have on their patients, and that's what really made me decide to become a neurosurgeon.
I think what new patients can expect is that I treat all of my patients as if they're my own family members. That's a philosophy that I have, so you can expect that I would devote a hundred percent of my time and attention, both in the clinic and the operating room, to make sure that we achieve the best result possible.
What really gives me the most satisfaction is seeing a patient return back to their normal neurologic baseline. For example, we treat patients with essential tremor, and these are patients who have difficulty in basic tasks such as feeding themselves or dressing themselves. And by using deep brain stimulation technology or focused ultrasound technology, we can almost instantaneously return their function back to normal.
I truly believe UVA is the best place for patients to receive their healthcare, not only because we have excellent healthcare providers here, but because we really strive to stay on the forefront of medical advancements, and I truly think that that is extremely important in our rapidly changing world.
