UT Southwestern is a regional referral center for cerebrovascular problems, helping patients from all parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, and beyond.

Our Services for Cerebrovascular Disorders
UT Southwestern’s team brings together neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurointensivists, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, and other health care professionals – all working together to achieve the best possible results for patients.
Our experts in neuroimaging use the latest technology available, providing prompt evaluations that help determine whether a patient needs surgical care or if it’s safe to monitor the condition without immediate intervention.
Neurosurgeons are at the forefront of treatments for cerebrovascular disorders, from minimally invasive techniques to bypass surgery. For patients who have suffered a stroke, the Robert D. Rogers Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center offers the highest level of stroke care available.
The neuro ICU at UT Southwestern’s Clements University Hospital has the largest number of neurointensive care specialists in North Texas. It’s staffed by a team of physicians, nurses, patient care technicians, respiratory therapists, and ancillary staff who together provide specialized care to manage all aspects of life-threatening cerebrovascular disorders.
Our patients also benefit from ongoing clinical trials, which provide patients with access to leading-edge research and therapeutic advances, often before they’re available at other hospitals.
