What services does Nova Brain and Spine offer?

Nova Brain and Spine of GA offers comprehensive neurosurgical services including brain tumor surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, motion preservation surgery (cervical arthroplasty), MRI reviews and second opinions, concussion evaluations, deep brain stimulation (DBS), epilepsy surgery, skull base surgery, cerebrovascular surgery, spinal fusion, disc replacement, laminectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal cord stimulator placement, and peripheral nerve surgery. We treat conditions of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves from our Hampton, Georgia location.

Do you offer MRI reviews and second opinions?

Yes! Nova Brain and Spine of GA offers MRI reviews and second opinions for brain and spine conditions. During this visit, our neurosurgeons will review your existing MRI, explain the findings in clear language, and outline your treatment options. This service is available both in-person and via telemedicine.

What brain conditions do you treat?

We specialize in treating brain tumors (benign and malignant), cerebrovascular conditions including aneurysms and stroke, concussion and traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, pituitary tumors, trigeminal neuralgia, and other complex neurological disorders.

What is deep brain stimulation (DBS) and what conditions does it treat?

Deep brain stimulation involves implanting thin electrodes into specific brain targets to deliver controlled electrical impulses. DBS is used to treat Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and medication-resistant epilepsy. The procedure is adjustable and reversible, with most patients experiencing 50-70% improvement in symptoms.

Do you offer epilepsy surgery for drug-resistant seizures?

Yes. Dr. Marcus Stephens provides comprehensive epilepsy surgery evaluation and treatment for patients whose seizures are not controlled by medications. Options include temporal lobectomy, lesionectomy, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Temporal lobectomy achieves seizure freedom in 60-80% of appropriate candidates.

What spine conditions do you treat?

We treat a wide range of spinal conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, spinal fractures, chronic back and neck pain, radiculopathy, myelopathy, and failed back surgery syndrome.

What minimally invasive spine procedures do you offer?

We offer a variety of minimally invasive spine procedures including microdiscectomy, tubular laminectomy, MIS-TLIF fusion, endoscopic spine surgery, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation. These techniques result in incisions under 1 inch, less pain, and faster recovery — most patients go home the same or next day.

What is cervical arthroplasty (artificial disc replacement)?

Cervical arthroplasty is a motion-preserving alternative to fusion. Instead of locking vertebrae together, a specially engineered artificial disc replaces the damaged one, maintaining natural neck movement and protecting adjacent disc levels from accelerated degeneration. It is ideal for younger, active patients with single or two-level cervical disc disease.

What insurance plans do you accept?

We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, and Tricare. We also handle Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury/Auto Accident cases. Please contact our office to verify your specific plan.

Do you offer telemedicine appointments?

Yes, we offer telemedicine appointments for initial consultations, second opinions, and follow-up visits. This allows patients throughout Georgia to receive expert neurosurgical care from the comfort of their home.

Our office is located at 700 Manassas Street, Suite 300, Hampton, GA 30228. We're conveniently situated in the Hampton medical district with easy access from I-75. Free parking is available on-site.
