Treatments & Services

Historically, the only treatment option for neurovascular disease was open surgery. With the arrival of new technologies, minimally invasive surgeries are now an option to restore health to your brain and spinal cord.

Ashish Sonig, MD, is a dual vascular trained neurosurgeon, offering both open and minimally invasive surgeries. Additionally, he is a fellowship trained skull base neurosurgeon.
