Who We Are

Dr. Hiren N. Patel is a world renown neurosurgeon in Boston, Massachusetts.  He specializes in international neurosurgery, complex spine, and complex brain tumors.  He lectures internationally and domestically on how to operate in resource poor environments.  Dr. Patel travels the world offering free neurosurgical services and provides the same high-quality care regardless of your socioeconomic status. 

Dr. Patel has operated in the most extreme conditions imaginable.  He has sharpened his skills to take on unexpected challenges, including operating in third world countries when the electricity goes out.

He never rushes his appointments or over books his schedule.  He listens to you and becomes a part of your family.

Dr. Patel does NOT care about money or surgical volume.

He will be 100% honest with you, and tell you if you do not need surgery.

His goal is to make you better WITHOUT surgery.  That is a victory in our practice. 

He will ONLY operate if he has exhausted every option.

Dr. Patel always tells his patients, “You want to see me in a suit your entire life, never in scrubs. This is our goal.”

The goal of our practice is purely and entirely good patient outcomes.  As we do not care about money and surgical volume, we therefore do not tolerate rudeness to our staff and affiliated care givers.  We will always be kind, respectful, and do our best to help you become the best you, please return the kindness.  We understand having a neurosurgery diagnosis can be scary and stressful.  Dr. Patel will put you at ease, please be kind.

Dr. Patel believes in the whole-body approach to medicine. He will discuss your diet, lifestyle, and find areas for improvement.  The brain and spine are apart of a whole, and can only perform at their best if the soil is ripe as possible.
