About the Program

Faculty

The Arkansas Neuroscience Institute is comprised of faculty in all segments of neurosurgery, including endovascular neurosurgery and spine. We also have faculty specifically designated for research. This offers a complete patient experience involving all aspects of neurosurgery.

Case Volume

With more than XXX patients being treated at ANI every year, your patients are in the best hands. Dr. Ali Krisht, alone, has performed more than 2,000 treatments on aneurysms. This experience permits our team to achieve higher outcomes with fewer deficits to our patients.

Surgical Destination

All patients are treated in a single destination institute in Sherwood, Arkansas. This allows for all ANI faculty to work together on a daily basis with the individual care teams to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care with the least interruptions.

Technology

ANI is at the cutting edge of surgical techniques and technology, with our neurosurgeons and staff continuously discovering and implementing new treatments for our patients. Advances in our Ossama Al-Mefty Microneurosurgery Laboratory allow life-like training with the use of the ‘Aboud Model’ which simulates life-like conditions in a cadaver.
