About
Dr. Arias is a down-to-earth surgeon who truly cares about getting his patients back to their daily lives and activities. He takes the time to explain all options – both surgical and non-surgical – in plain language that makes sense.
For neck and back problems, Dr. Arias believes in starting with the least invasive approach possible. When surgery is needed, he tries to avoid fusing vertebrae whenever he can, instead using techniques that preserve natural movement in the spine.
Dr. Arias also specializes in treating brain tumors, using techniques that are less invasive and even preserve hair. For certain patients, he offers advanced treatments like Gamma Knife procedures that don’t require traditional open surgery.
What makes Dr. Arias unique is his training in both traditional brain surgery and procedures that use catheters inserted through blood vessels. This means he can offer different options for treating problems like aneurysms and blocked arteries in the neck and brain. Patients benefit from seeing one doctor who understands all the available treatments rather than having to consult multiple specialists.
