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.

We are the only system in the region that operates this way. We also have the region’s only neurological intensive care unit.

• 

  Headache Center

  Diagnosis, classification and definition of unusual headache syndromes.

• 

  Neurosurgery

  We range from common surgical procedures to advanced surgery techniques.

• 

  Movement Disorders

  A new center for Parkinson's disease and other disorders.

Epilepsy Center

As a top destination for epilepsy care, we see people of all ages with a wide range of conditions. Almost 50 percent of the time, the problem isn’t epilepsy itself but a mood or conversion disorder — equally debilitating, but demanding a different course of care.

Headache Center

A comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating patients with head and/or face pain: The Headache Center specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of many types of headaches.

Movement Disorders

Where patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders can find a path to improved quality of life.

Neurosurgery

Our neurosurgery capabilities include the region’s only dedicated neurology Intensive Care Unit, staffed 24/7 by APRNs, and strong behavioral health support from neuropsychologists.

Stroke Center

We bring together top specialists for every facet of your illness. They have the latest technologies for the most advanced care possible, including a dedicated Stroke Intensive Care Unit.
