Neurosurgery

Mary Washington Neurosurgery is dedicated to providing world-class, contemporary neurosurgical services with the utmost care and compassion. We are dedicated to treating each of our patients as unique individuals, with special attention and respect.

Neurosurgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or conditions that affect the brain, spine, spinal cord, and nerves. Many conditions can be managed either non-surgically (also referred to as "medical" or "conservative" treatment) or surgically.

For many years, patients thought they needed to travel outside of the area to receive exceptional neurosurgical care. However, those specialized services are here in Fredericksburg. Dr. Visioni, a board-certified neurosurgeon and his staff provide leading edge surgery and will work with other physicians to coordinate your care. Our practice offers an expertly trained and experienced staff who provides care for the whole patient. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care for our patients while, staying allowing them to stay close to home.

Our mission is to deliver the safest, most advanced and the most effective neurosurgical treatments to our patients in a compassionate, comprehensive and caring manner.

Thank you for choosing Mary Washington Neurosurgery.
