Dr. MariaElaina Sumas

 

My work as a Neurological Surgeon is my purpose and passion. I continue furthering my education, learning the newest practices and techniques to better myself and the lives of others. Experience and education are crucial; but your comfort, knowing who I am personally and professionally are also my top priorities.  All of these are of utmost importance to me, and what makes my practice so different. Communication and compassion are essential before, during, and after your surgical procedure. I look forward to getting to know you and treating your symptoms so that you can feel your best self.
