Any individual diagnosed with an intracerebral hemorrhage (also known as hemorrhagic stroke) should be seen immediately by an experienced neurosurgeon. Even within the specialty of neurosurgery there are sub-specialists who have particular expertise in cerebrovascular conditions like hemorrhagic stroke. At Weill Cornell, our faculty includes some of the very best world-renowned specialists in treating acute stroke, including intracerebral hemorrhage:
Philip E. Stieg, Ph.D., M.D., the chair and neurosurgeon-in-chief of Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, leads the cerebrovascular team. Dr. Stieg is one of the top neurosurgeons in the nation, having been named one of America’s Top Doctors by Castle Connolly each year since that designation was created more than two decades ago. Dr. Stieg has developed an international reputation in the area of cerebrovascular disorders and surgery; his work has been broadly published, and he has contributed to groups such as the Joint Sections of Cerebrovascular Surgery of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (AANS/CNS).
