The rich history of the U-M Medical School Department of Neurosurgery begins in 1918. Our humble start within the Department of Surgery has evolved into world-renowned patient care and ground-breaking research. 

From the University of Michigan Health and its clinics to the Crosby Neurosurgical Laboratories and Castro & Lowenstein Translational Neuro-Oncology Laboratories, our work happens across the Ann Arbor area.

Together, our faculty, residents, students and researchers work together to pioneer breakthroughs and deliver the highest quality neurosurgical care in the field. We teach the field’s future leaders on the same front lines of discovery and patient care, for an unparalleled experience in neurosurgical excellence.
