UPMC (Pittsburgh). The neuro and spine surgeons at UPMC are pioneers in their field, continually focused on developing new tools and techniques to advance patient care. Surgeons take a team approach to delivering care, focusing on nonsurgical, minimally invasive and surgical options for patients. UPMC spine and neurosurgeons also act as medical providers for the Pittsburgh Steelers and recently performed surgery on Steeler Ryan Shazier, who sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury during play. The department also treats thousands of non-elite athletes per year; more than 30 neurosurgeons perform more than 11,000 procedures annually, making UPMC's flagship campus one of the largest academic neurological providers in America. U.S. News & World Report ranked UPMC No. 20 in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery for 2017-18, and National Institutes of Health ranks the hospital's neurosurgery department among the highest in the nation.
