Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurosurgery

Dr. D'Ambrosio earned his medical doctorate from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine where he graduated Alpha Omega Alpha.  He completed his Neurological Surgery Internship, Residency and Chief Residency at the Neurological Institute of New York, Columbia University.  In addition, he completed a Skull Base and  Cerebrovascular Surgery Fellowship in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of South Florida in Tampa.

He has particular expertise in the use of endoscopic techniques to remove complex intracranial tumors at the base of the brain.    He uses state-of-the-art technology such as frameless image guidance systems and stereotactic radiosurgery (i.e. BrainLab, GammaKnife, Tomotherapy) for the treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors. 

Dr. D'Ambrosio uses minimally invasive techniques for spinal surgery including the use of narrow tube retractor systems for cervical and lumbar microdiscectomy and spinal fusion.  He also has expertise in artificial disc replacement surgery in the cervical spine.
