Raleigh Neurosurgical Clinic

What Raleigh Neurosurgical Clinic does

Raleigh Neurosurgical Clinic Inc. is a physician-owned, private neurosurgical group practice headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, founded in 1954 by Dr. LeRoy Allen. It operates as one of the largest private neurosurgical groups in the Southeast United States, with 11 board-certified neurosurgeons supported by approximately 10 physician assistants and 3 nurse practitioners across three locations in Raleigh, Goldsboro, and Wake Forest (opened July 2025). The clinic performs more than 2,000 procedures annually, split between roughly 1,500 spine and nerve cases and 700+ cranial cases, and treats conditions spanning brain tumors, aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, stroke, and peripheral nerve disorders.

The practice's core technology platform rests on advanced neurosurgical instrumentation, including the Globus Medical ExcelsiusGPS robotic spine surgery system for navigated pedicle screw placement, minimally invasive microsurgical techniques, and on-site CT and MRI diagnostic imaging. The flagship clinical asset is the Fukushima Brain Tumor Center, built around Dr. Takanori Fukushima's pioneering keyhole surgery technique and skull base surgical methods, which draws international patients. Robotic-assisted spine surgery, endovascular procedures, craniotomy, cervical and lumbar disc surgery, and functional neurosurgery (deep brain stimulation, led by Dr. Robert Dallapiazza since 2022) round out the procedural menu. A walk-in Urgent Care Spine Center and the MyChart-RNC patient portal (hosted by WakeMed) support front-end access and longitudinal care.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional services billing for surgical procedures, consultations, second opinions, and diagnostic imaging, paid via commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, self-pay, and international patient arrangements. GTM relies on physician referrals, WakeMed emergency department channels, patient self-referrals, walk-in urgent care, Google reviews, and the Fukushima Center's international reputation rather than active digital marketing. The clinic has remained physician-partnership-owned with no disclosed venture or PE capital; it absorbed Capital Neurosurgery via merger in October 2013 to consolidate the two oldest neurosurgery practices in Wake County.
