At Hartford HealthCare's Ayer Neuroscience Institute, we’ve taken the concept of a second opinion to a new level.

Each week, all our specialists—neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, neurointensivists, and neuro-critical care nurses—meet to review each individual case. Together, they pool their knowledge and experience to give you the most advanced treatment plan possible.

Service Locations

Find inpatient and acute care, long-term care, outpatient services and preventive care at three of our convenient locations.

Patient Stories & Videos

Hear from our patients themselves about our care and their outcomes.
