Duke Neurosurgery now offers expanded specialized neurosurgery care at its Morrisville location. Neurosurgeon Andrew B. Cutler, MD, provides consultations, evaluations, diagnostic testing, and postoperative appointments for patients experiencing a range of neurological conditions that often require surgical intervention.

With expertise in vascular neurosurgery, Cutler specializes in treating vascular diseases of the brain and spine, including arteriovenous malformations, brain aneurysms, carotid artery disease, cavernous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistulas, intracranial stenosis, stroke, and vascular malformations.

In addition, neurosurgeon Steven H. Cook, MD, and three advanced practice providers provide comprehensive clinical consultations and care for a broad range of neurological concerns, including brain tumors and spinal disorders.

"Enhancing our neurosurgery care options at Morrisville decreases lead times for patients and increases the pathway to see a neurosurgeon faster," says Cutler. "Patients have more access to neurosurgery clinic consultations and follow-up appointments for a wider range of conditions," he adds.

Working with advanced practice providers, the team provides efficient initial evaluations, follow-up care, and access to the Duke system for imaging or workups needed before seeing a Duke neurosurgeon. Through this process, patients can expedite initial assessments and imaging, so their time with the neurosurgeon is more productive.

Duke Neurosurgery is committed to continued expansion of its Morrisville services. The program is actively growing to include a larger facility and to offer Duke's high level of supportive care through physiatry, physical therapy, and occupational therapy for patients. The Morrisville location also offers on-site radiography and lab draws through primary care, as well as convenient parking and an easier commute.

"Duke Health offers access to a world-class team of specialists, providers, and resources that help me provide comprehensive care," says Cutler. "By expanding our routine care at the Morrisville clinic, patients benefit from easy access combined with the consistent, high-level neurosurgery care we provide."
