Neurosurgery Department: About Us
Five Decades of Caring, Teaching and Exploring
Shortly after the opening of the UF College of Medicine in 1958, the Division of Neurosurgery began under the direction of Dr. Lamar Roberts and one faculty member, Dr. Francisco Garcia-Bengochea. In 1972, Dr. Albert Rhoton assumed the chairmanship of this fledgling division and led its' development to a Department of national and international prominence. Today, under the leadership of Dr. William A. Friedman the department has grown to eleven clinical faculty, seven research and education faculty, eighteen resident physicians and seven advanced registered nurse practitioners
Throughout our tremendous growth and development over the last 50 years, we continue the unwavering committments to:
- Excellence in Patient Care
- Excellence in Education
- Excellence in Research
