TREATMENTS AND COMMUNITY AWARENESS
By: Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists
For over 50 years Atlantic NeuroSur-
gical Specialists (ANS) has main-
tained their core value that the
needs of their patients come first.
This means constantly striving
toward the application of leading-
edge research to their clinical prac-
tice. Their neurosurgeons incorpo-
rate the most advanced surgical
technology and neurosurgical tech-
niques available for the treatment
of back pain, brain tumors, stroke,
brain aneurysms, spinal disorders,
traumatic brain injury, and more.
ANS is affiliated with New Jersey’s
leading healthcare systems and with
over 9 offices throughout the
region, their reputation has made
them the largest private neurosurgi-
cal practice in the state of New Jer-
sey. Their neurosurgeons have been
trained at some of the most presti-
gious institutions in the nation. This
means you don’t have to travel far
for access to the most innovative
treatments.
With the rising popularity of “bou-
tique surgeries” being offered by
less qualified specialists, yielding
temporary results at best, ANS has
launched an awareness campaign
to educate the community on the
importance of choosing a neurosur-
geon for an accurate diagnosis and
to dismiss the idea that you only go
to a neurosurgeon when surgery is
needed. Neurosurgeons are highly
qualified specialists to diagnose and
treat your back pain as well as other
ailments associated with your deli-
cate nervous system. “We hope this
campaign will make people think
twice before allowing surgery to be
performed by someone other than a
surgeon,” says Tom Wood of ANS.
ANS performs the most minimally
invasive spine surgeries in New Jer-
sey. These minimally invasive proce-
dures are performed through an
incision the size of a dime. Benefits
include faster recovery time and less
pain. ANS’s Dr. Jonathan Baskin
explains why a neurosurgeon is the
best fit to treat your spine. “Your
spinal cord is the link between your
brain and the rest of the body and
must be handled with care. A neu-
rosurgeon is specifically trained to
treat the intricacies of the spine and
nerves involved. I have seen many
failed back surgeries from patients
who have had quick-fix surgeries
such as laser surgery.” ANS’s Dr.
Kyle Chapple further explains the
dangers. “When patients choose
these attractive procedures, they
can risk doing more harm than
good. We urge a patient consider-
ing surgery to make sure their doc-
tor is a trained surgeon.”
ANS is also the region’s largest prac-
tice treating stroke, the leading
cause of disability in the United
States. ANS was the group who
launched the first comprehensive
stroke center in New Jersey. Since
then, ANS has expanded to 3 addi-
tional comprehensive centers and
holds a success rate that far sur-
passes the national average. The
endovascular team continues to
engage in clinical trials for new
stroke technologies and therapies,
giving patients access to the next
generation of stroke management.
In accordance with ANS’s constant
effort to better educate the com-
munity, ANS has recently launched
“
ANSwers LIVE,” a radio show air-
ing Sunday mornings from 9:30-
10:00
AM on WMTR (1250 AM).
You can tune in to hear Tom Wood
of ANS speak with medical experts
from various specialties. Important
topics are varied each week and
cover a broad range of health infor-
mation. Listeners are encouraged to
call in to get ANSwers regarding
weekly subject matter.
