Banner Fort Collins (Colo.) Medical Center has opened a new neurosurgery department.
Neurosurgeon Eric Arias, MD, will lead the department, which provides care for conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis and instability, according to a March 11 news release from Banner Health.
He is one of the first neurosurgeons in Northern Colorado who performs disc replacements, which can provide improved patient outcomes compared to traditional spinal fusions.
Dr. Arias graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City and completed his residency and fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the release said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
