What does a neurosurgeon treat?
A neurosurgeon assesses conditions affecting the brain, spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Patients may be referred for persistent nerve compression, progressive weakness, spinal cord symptoms, brain or spinal tumours, hydrocephalus, vascular conditions, or a second opinion about proposed surgery.
- Brain and spinal tumours
- Herniated discs, sciatica, and nerve compression
- Spinal stenosis and spinal cord compression
- Hydrocephalus, head injury, and selected vascular conditions
Choosing a brain and spine specialist in Dubai
Look for an appropriately licensed consultant whose practice matches the condition being assessed. A useful specialist opinion should review the original imaging, explain how the findings relate to the symptoms, discuss non-surgical and surgical options when relevant, and make the next steps clear. Dr Hani holds professional licences in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and has more than 16 years of stated experience in neurosurgery and spine surgery.
A decision based on the whole picture
Symptoms, examination, imaging, medical history, and personal priorities are considered together. The aim is to explain the condition and compare observation, non-surgical care, and surgery when relevant.
Urgent neurological symptoms
Sudden severe headache, new weakness, seizure, confusion, loss of consciousness, or rapidly worsening neurological symptoms require emergency assessment rather than a routine appointment.
What to bring to a neurosurgeon appointment in Dubai
A complete set of records helps the specialist compare the clinical history with the imaging and avoid repeating information. For a second opinion, include the proposed treatment plan and any previous operative or pathology reports.
- Original MRI, CT, or angiography images
- Radiology, pathology, and previous surgical reports
- Medication list and relevant medical history
- A clear timeline of symptoms and neurological changes
