Ochsner Lafayette General Neuroscience Center, located within Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, strives to deliver the best neurological care possible to you and your loved ones. Our center is composed of both neurology and neuroscience services, which all fall under the broad umbrella of neuroscience.

Neurology is the study of disorders and diseases that affect the brain and nervous system. Neurological disorders usually cannot be diagnosed with just one test, so they require full examination of the patient’s medical history, physical characteristics, lab tests and daily functions to pinpoint possible underlying conditions. Neurosurgery is the practice of surgery to correct physical issues with the brain or nervous system.

Why choose us for neurology care?

Whether a condition requires surgery or only needs therapeutics from a neurologist, our center is equipped to provide advanced solutions aligned with a patient’s unique needs. With innovative treatment options and a team of leading physicians, it’s no wonder why the Ochsner Lafayette General Neuroscience Center was named a Center of Excellence in 2012.

A leader in technology

Ochsner Lafayette General Neuroscience Center is proud to offer leading technology in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery. When you choose our team, you are getting access to an interconnected system of subspecialties and innovative tools that work together to alleviate or correct your condition.

One technology area we emphasize in our program is Interventional Neurology, which is a medical specialty that uses advanced imaging equipment to perform minimally invasive procedures and treat complex diseases of the brain, neck and spine. Interventional Neurology offers a variety of treatment alternatives and expanded therapeutic options for people who might be ineligible for certain treatments.

To complement our Interventional Neurology services, Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center houses the CyberKnife® Center of Louisiana. Here, specialists perform CyberKnife® robotic radiosurgery, which uses the newest technology to treat tumors in the brain and elsewhere in the body — all without an incision, pain or anesthesia.

In addition to minimally invasive tools, we also offer technology geared specifically towards sleep medicine. We work closely with the Sleep Center of Acadiana, located across the street from Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center. It is the only comprehensive sleep medicine facility in Lafayette and features two neurologists board-certified in sleep analysis and therapeutics.
