Mission Vision

At the Arkansas Neuroscience Institute (ANI), we are driven by a singular vision: to provide the highest standard of care to our patients and to advance the education of neurosurgeons around the world. Led by Professor Ali Krisht, our world-class team of neurosurgeons, nurses, and staff are united by an unwavering commitment to patient well-being and a relentless dedication to going the extra mile to provide the best care for our patients.

When a patient trusts us with operating on them, it’s one of the most critical moments of their life. At the Arkansas Neuroscience Institute, our surgeons and staff approach every case with the utmost care, expertise, and compassion, never taking this responsibility lightly. We’ve mastered the ability to treat complex conditions and diseases that are often considered untreatable, such as tumors and conditions affecting the deep-seated brain regions in the cavernous sinus region, an area that was once regarded as “no man’s land.” For us, this is our playground.

At the ANI, we take pride in combining outstanding education, innovative laboratory research, and exceptional patient care, all working together to set the highest standard in neurosurgery. We aim to be a lighthouse for aspiring neurosurgeons, offering a place for surgeons to master their specialties, refine their skills, and expand their minds while learning to serve patients at the highest level possible.

With our unique blend of training on models that combine real human anatomy and live surgical practice, we are able to prepare for and respond to the complexities of surgery in ways that few can match. We understand that facing a brain tumor or neurological condition is one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. Our goal is to help our patients return to normalcy, feeling empowered and whole again. We are committed to implementing the best possible treatments for our patients– It isn’t fair to treat a curable problem half the way, because if you don’t treat something that’s curable completely, then you haven’t finished the job.

We have an unmatched readiness to respond, and we are driven by caring and working hard. Every moment counts, so if we can add an hour or a day to someone’s life or comfort, we will give everything we have to make that happen.
