Ga Neurosurgical Institute Visit


Some of the team had a chance to visit The Georgia Neurosurgical Institute Spine Center. Pictured are Doctors Smisson, Grigorian, Robing and Johnston with Robert Jordan, Jeff and Lauren Clayton, riders on the team.

The Georgia Neurosurgical Institute opened its doors to the public in 1954. Dr. Robert A. Clark Jr., Dr. Samuel J. Hightower Jr., Dr. Morgan A. Cowan, Dr. Robert A. Sears, Dr. Hugh F. Smisson, and Dr. Charles M. Rowley wanted to bring a Neurosurgical practice to the Macon Georgia area. The doctors wanted to offer comprehensive neurosurgical services to the Central Georgia community.

Today, The Georgia Neurosurgical Institute is a group of surgical specialists performing state-of-the-art procedures. Over the years, GNI has grown and evolved to offer expanded services to the public. GNI offers technologies and treatments of neurological, spinal and cervical disorders, injuries and diseases including back pain and neck pain. GNI also has Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) services; this test uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to take pictures of the head. In many cases, MRI gives information that cannot be seen on an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan, helping our doctors to give better diagnoses.

In addition to experts in the field, and MRI services; GNI offers physical therapy services where patients are evaluated by licensed physical therapist and offered the best treatment in the area.
