Navigating the journey of a neurological condition that may require surgery carries its challenges. At The NeuroMedical Center, we help relieve this pressure by welcoming patients and loved ones as if they were our own family.
With the following principles of care, you can trust you’re in good hands.
Our multidisciplinary team works quickly as one to care for you, whether you require additional expert evaluation, physical therapy, or neuropsychology treatment.
Our philosophy is to begin with the most minimally invasive option. Surgery is only recommended when we have exhausted other non-surgical options and believe it is the best path forward.
Our team is with you through every step of care, guiding you through treatment as if you were our own family. You’ll maintain the same team throughout your care journey, which ensures your best interests are always top of mind.
When you choose The NeuroMedical Center for your care, you’re choosing a multidisciplinary team. Conditions that require neurosurgery may need the expertise of more than one specialty. As our patient, you’ll have access to an entire team of neurological experts who work as one to care for you.
Our team works together to evaluate your case. If we believe your condition doesn’t require surgery, we’ll recommend another plan. Our team makes world-class neurosurgical care easy to access with several neurosurgery clinics located throughout Southeast Louisiana.
The sooner you identify a neurological condition and start treatment, the better your chances are of limiting the complications or resolving the issue completely. Ask your physician about referring you to a neurological specialist at The NeuroMedical Center or request an appointment today!
In 1978, The NeuroMedical Center was born of a need to help Louisianians write a new story of neurological care. For the brain, spine, and nervous system, we’ve become the single destination of care. We’ve provided world-class neurological care to our region throughout our dedicated history.
"Dr. Luke A. Corsten and Dr. Kelly J. Scrantz have both performed major spinal (cervical and lumbar) surgeries for me. I moved to New Mexico and they are still my neurosurgeons of choice. I drove back to Baton Rouge last June for a follow-up evaluation by Dr. Corsten and pain management specialist, Dr. Jyoti Pham, for some other issues.
I have recommended all my NeuroMedical Center doctors to at least twenty family members and friends in New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. No matter how many miles I have to travel, The NeuroMedical Center will always be my first choice for expert spine & neurological care."

"I almost died after an alleged drunk driver crashed into our family car and left the right side of my skull in tiny pieces. The hands of God worked through Dr. Luke Corsten and he pieced together my skull with tiny titanium plates... like little snowflakes in my head. I am a walking miracle thanks to my hero, Dr. Corsten. He is not just a doctor. He is more like family."

“When an aneurysm ruptured behind my left eye, Dr. Greg Fautheree of The NeuroMedical Center saved my life. I thank God for him and his staff.”

“Every day, I feel like I’m waking up to a miracle. I thank my doctors in my prayers for performing this life-changing deep brain stimulation surgery! Anytime I see someone who has hand tremors, I want to tell them all about DBS and how Dr. Paul Waguespack and Dr. Gerald Calegan at The NeuroMedical Center gave me my life back!”
