Bayhealth Neurosurgery offers the innovative and compassionate neurosurgical care your patients deserve, without having to travel far. Our highly-trained neurosurgeons Dawn Tartaglione, DO, Aaron Sigler, DO and Kaitlyn Melnick, MD deliver advanced patient-centered solutions that improve quality of life after brain or spine trauma, or years of pain from a spinal condition or injury.
Bayhealth was the first health system in Delaware to offer minimally invasive robotic spine surgery with the ExcelsiusGPS® technology and the 7D Surgical FLASH™ Navigation System for safer and radiation-free surgical spinal and cranial procedures.
A Focus on Quality and Safety
With our expertise, advanced technology and individualized treatment plans, referring physicians can expect improved patient safety, faster surgical and recovery times, and excellent outcomes. This includes very low rates of surgical site infections—0.44% with brain and spine—as well as 8% readmission, and 1% postoperative complication rate.
Bayhealth has state-of-the-art equipment, customized operating suites, and a dedicated neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to facilitate healing. We also have a nurse navigator and a dedicated spine class to educate patients about their surgery and the pre- and post-procedure instructions to follow. This class can be completed individually or in a group, with a telehealth option available.
