The Neurosurgical
Service sees many international
patients with unusual and complicated
neurosurgical problems. A one page
summary of the history in English
allows us to form an opinion on the
advisability of travel to the U.S.
As with any patient, the MRI and CT
scans are needed for evaluation. These
can be reviewed before the patient
comes to the United States. An in-person
evaluation and any surgical procedures
are done at the patient's convenience.
The Massachusetts General Hospital
Admitting Department has established
a reputable International Program.
Representatives from the International
Patient and Family Center are available
to assist international patients and
their families with transportation,
lodging, interpretation, and other
needs. For information contact the
International Program Office at:
Telephone Number: (617) 726-2787
Fax Number: (617) 726-2543
We welcome the opportunity to continue
serving the international community.
Please, remember
to contact the appropriate physician's
office before sending films or pathology
slides.
