Atman Desai, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Division of Spine and Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Christopher B. Lock, MBBS, PhD
Clinical Associate Professor, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Jeremy J. Heit, MD, PhD
Clinical Instructor, Radiology
Dr. Desai provides comprehensive spine care and neurosurgery to treat adults with spinal trauma, disease and/or deformity. He focuses on the surgical treatment of spinal tumors, spinal degenerative disease and spinal deformity, and has particular interest in computer-assisted and minimally invasive surgical approaches.
Dr. Lock specializes in the care of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), seeing patients in the MS and Neuro-Immunology Clinic. His clinical expertise is in the management of brain and nervous system conditions in which the immune system interacts with the central nervous system to cause disease.
Dr. Heit, an interventional neuroradiologist, specializes in the treatment of patients with stroke, brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, brain and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae, carotid artery stenosis, vertebral body compression fractures and congenital vascular malformations. He treats these conditions using minimally-invasive, image-guided procedures and stateof-the-art technology.
