Q: What are the best opportunities for independent neurological surgeons today?
Dr. Gregory Corradino: I believe the best opportunities exist for surgeons who strive to constant improve the quality of care they deliver, who understand the need for their participation in building their practice, and who look for strategic partners with whom they can form alliances with to improve the delivery of healthcare.
