Group Health's Neurosurgery Department diagnoses and treats problems of the brain, spine, cerebrovascular system, and peripheral nerves. Conditions treated include brain and spinal tumors, brain aneurysms, herniated disks and spinal deformities, including scoliosis.

Group Health's model of care, with its focus on evidence-based medicine rather than profit, has allowed us to attract the most highly regarded practitioners. "Our department recently hired Rajiv Sethi, an extraordinary spine surgeon," says Neurosurgery chief Dr. Kyle Kim. "James Wang is a top expert in movement disorders and functional neurosurgery. J.C. Leveque's focus is minimally invasive spine surgery and pituitary surgery. Recently joining the team is Chong Lee, a neurosurgeon with special training in complex spine surgery. Combine this expertise with the incentive to do only what needs doing and you get the best care."
