About Brain and Spine Surgeons of
Orange County
Drs. Christopher Duma and Richard Kim are
the co-founders of “Brain
and Spine Surgeons of Orange County.” Aptly named, they perform university-level
brain and spine surgery within a setting of private practice, at the best
hospitals in Orange County. Dr. Duma is a pioneer in the surgical and radiosurgical
management of brain tumors and has published numerous book chapters and journal
articles on these topics. Dr. Kim is a Yale-trained specialist in the surgical
management of epilepsy, and is NYU-trained in complex spine surgery. Both
specialize also in the surgical management of Parkinson’s Disease and
other movement disorders and both are expert in the minimally invasive
management of neurosurgical problems. They hold academic appointments
at the University of California at Irvine, but fully care for their
patients themselves without medical student, or resident intermediaries.
This allows the utmost of personal touch and accountability toward the highest
level of patient care. All areas of brain and spine surgery
are covered by these two board certified neurosurgeons. Patients from around
the country and world have traveled for their expertise. Hospital affiliations
include Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian (voted the best hospital in
Orange County 4 years in a row), UC Irvine Medical Center (voted among
the top 100 hospitals in the country by Solucient, Corp.), Children’s
Hospital of Orange County, and South Coast Medical Center in Laguna Beach.
Brain and Spine Surgeons of Orange County prides itself on attaining the
highest level of surgical and personal care for their patients, with the
most modern of approaches.
