Treatment Philosophy

“My practice philosophy is simple. One size does not fit all. I treat each patient as an individual. I make a conscious effort to give each patient the best outcome in the least invasive way possible.”

Dr. Wirchansky’s empathy for patients’ needs began at an early age as he watched his own father suffer from a neurological illness. This set a firm foundation for wanting to help others.

In addition, Dr. Wirchansky is a board-certified neurosurgeon who does not work with residents or fellows. This means he performs all surgeries and post-op care himself.
