What Miami Neuroscience Center does

Miami Neuroscience Center (legally The Miami Neuroscience Center, LLC) is a privately held, single-specialty neurosurgery and radiosurgery practice headquartered at Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami, Florida, with a secondary site at Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus in Hialeah. The practice treats patients with neurological conditions including brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, herniated discs, hydrocephalus, trigeminal neuralgia, and spinal stenosis, anchored by two named board-certified neurosurgeons — Dr. Aizik L. Wolf (Medical Director, 30+ years of experience) and Dr. Jose E. Valerio (minimally invasive spine and brain tumor surgery) — supported by neurologists, physicists, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, and care coordinators.

The practice delivers care across a capital-intensive technology platform comprising Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, the Zap-X radiosurgery system, AIRO mobile intraoperative CT (32-slice), Boston Scientific Vercise Gevia deep brain stimulation, MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound, DaTscan SPECT imaging, ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and endoscopic third ventriculostomy. The April 2025 launch of MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound for Essential Tremor is the most recent addition to a non-invasive and minimally invasive service portfolio designed to replace higher-morbidity open procedures.

The business model is professional-services billing for procedures and consultations, reimbursed through accepted insurance plans and out-of-pocket payments, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on physician and neurologist referrals, direct self-referral via the website, telemedicine consultations, and a dedicated international patient coordination program offering travel, transportation, and hotel support. Cumulative volume reported on the practice's own materials totals 7,423 patients treated, 10,079 treatments performed, and 12,000+ radiosurgery procedures across 26+ years of combined team experience.

Core offering

Miami Neuroscience Center is a private neurosurgery and spine practice that diagnoses and treats neurological conditions including brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, trigeminal neuralgia, and hydrocephalus. It delivers stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife, Zap-X), MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound, Deep Brain Stimulation, image-guided neurosurgery using AIRO intraoperative CT, pain management, and hydrocephalus surgery. Services are billed through insurance reimbursement and patient out-of-pocket payments.

Product overview

Miami Neuroscience Center is a state-of-the-art neurosurgery and spine center offering a comprehensive suite of neurological treatment services. The center operates as a medical facility providing advanced surgical and non-invasive treatment options centered around three main technology platforms: Gamma Knife radiosurgery for noninvasive brain/neck procedures, Zap-X radiosurgery for tumors and neurological conditions, and AIRO intraoperative CT imaging for real-time surgical guidance. Additional core services include Focused Ultrasound (MRI-guided treatment for tremors), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), comprehensive neurosurgery, pain management, and hydrocephalus treatments (Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt and Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy). The center also offers diagnostic services including DaTscan imaging. These services collectively address conditions including brain tumors, Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor, herniated discs, hydrocephalus, trigeminal neuralgia, radiculopathy, and spinal stenosis.

Products and services

• Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Noninvasive stereotactic radiosurgery using precisely targeted radiation beams to treat brain tumors, AVMs, trigeminal neuralgia, and other neurological disorders in the brain and neck without incisions.
• Zap-X Radiosurgery System Radiosurgery system used to treat tumors, lesions, and neurological conditions in the brain and neck using a proprietary radiosurgery approach.
• AIRO Neurosurgery (Image-Guided Neurosurgery) Image-guided neurosurgery using a 32-slice AIRO intraoperative CT scanner that produces high-resolution images at any point during surgery, enabling real-time guidance for neurosurgical procedures and DBS electrode implantation.
• Neurosurgery Full spectrum of neurosurgical procedures for neurological conditions including brain tumors, AVMs, herniated discs, and spinal compression, delivered with image-guided navigation.
• Pain Management Treatment services for acute and chronic pain conditions including radiculopathy, sciatica, trigeminal neuralgia, and occipital neuralgia.
• Focused Ultrasound MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves to target and ablate overactive cells in the thalamus for treatment of essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease; non-invasive, no incisions, no anesthesia, no hospital stay.
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Non-destructive surgical procedure that reduces Parkinson's Disease symptoms such as tremors, muscle rigidity, and slow movement using the Boston Scientific Vercise Gevia DBS System with implanted electrodes and an adjustable, wirelessly rechargeable IPG with a 15-year battery life.
• Gamma Knife Thalamotomy Stereotactic radiosurgery procedure using gamma knife radiation to create a small lesion in the thalamic nucleus for treatment of involuntary movements in Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor.
• DaTscan Imaging SPECT imaging diagnostic service that measures dopamine levels and function in the brain to help distinguish Parkinson's Disease from Parkinsonism conditions.
• Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt System Surgical treatment for hydrocephalus involving implantation of a shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdomen.
• Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) Minimally invasive surgical procedure that creates an opening in the third ventricle to allow cerebrospinal fluid to drain naturally, bypassing blockages in the cerebral aqueduct.

• Marcus Neuroscience Institute: Florida-based neuroscience institute in Boca Raton offering Gamma Knife, DBS, and comprehensive neurosurgical care. Competes for the same South Florida / Florida patient population with overlapping technology and service lines.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute: Comprehensive neurological and neurosurgical program within a large multi-specialty health system. Comparable in offering Gamma Knife, DBS, and movement-disorder surgery, though it competes as part of a much broader enterprise rather than a focused specialty practice.
• Johns Hopkins Department of Neurosurgery: High-volume academic neurosurgery program with Gamma Knife, DBS, and a full range of minimally invasive and open neurosurgical procedures. Competes for the same tertiary referral cases, especially complex brain tumors and movement disorders.
• Mayo Clinic Department of Neurosurgery: Nationally ranked neurosurgery program offering Gamma Knife, DBS, Focused Ultrasound, and minimally invasive neurosurgery. Comparable in offering the full modality stack Miami Neuroscience Center provides, though embedded in a much larger multispecialty system.
