Neurosurgery
Our medical team covers an extensive range of specialties, providing patients with modern, personalized care based on the latest medical standards.
Neurosurgery dedicated to the spine and quality of life
Spinal disorders can cause severe pain and major mobility limitations. Modern neurosurgery offers minimally invasive solutions, personalized treatments, and comprehensive assessments to restore function and reduce pain, with a focus on rapid recovery and patient comfort.
Neurosurgery at Metropolitan Hospital
Modern neurosurgery focuses on precise diagnosis, minimally invasive treatments and rapid recovery for patients with severe pain, mobility limitations or complex spinal conditions. The philosophy of the medical team is based on an essential principle: surgery is the final solution, not the first option. Each patient is objectively assessed, and intervention is recommended only when the benefit is real, measurable and medically justified.
Metropolitan Hospital currently brings together:, the only father-son neurosurgery team in Romania:
• Dr. Costica Zamfir, neurosurgeon with over 30 years of experience, one of the pioneers of spinal surgery and the treatment of peripheral nerve pathology;
• Dr. Ovidiu Zamfir, primary care neurosurgeon, trained in centers of excellence in Romania, Spain, Germany and Austria.
They work together in the same intervention – from assessment, to surgery and recovery – providing a continuity rarely seen in neurosurgery in Romania. Their combined experience covers the entire spectrum of spinal pathology: herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal trauma, spinal tumors and severe neurological compressions.
Their approach emphasizes conservative treatment whenever possible: medication, infiltrations, medical rehabilitation and pain control. Only patients who do not respond to non-surgical therapies are directed towards minimally invasive interventions or complex spinal surgery.
In the event of surgery, patients benefit from modern operating room, state-of-the-art technology, neuro-navigation and premium hospitalization conditions, in 5-star boutique hotel type accommodations, with continuous monitoring, à la carte menu and carefully supervised recovery.
