About the Doctor

Dr. Alejandro Serrano Rubio Neurosurgeon | Specialist in Spine Surgery, Brain Tumors, and Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery Consultation in Mexico City I am a certified Neurosurgeon trained at the Instituto Nacional de Neurologia y Neurocirugia Manuel Velasco Suarez (UNAM), with advanced training at Barrow Neurological Institute and Cleveland Clinic (United States), international referral centers in neurological surgery. I specialize in the surgical treatment of brain and spinal diseases, including herniated disc, spinal canal stenosis, brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and brain and spinal tumors. My approach combines microsurgical precision, advanced technology, and evidence-based medicine, with the goal of preserving neurological function, relieving pain, and offering definitive solutions when conservative treatment is no longer sufficient. I see patients who need specialized assessment or a neurosurgical second opinion, particularly in cases involving persistent pain, nerve compression, or diagnosis of complex neurological diseases. Specialty in Spine Surgery Evaluation and surgical treatment of diseases of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine: - Cervical and lumbar herniated disc - Persistent sciatica or pain radiating into the legs - Chronic low back or neck pain - Cervical or lumbar spinal canal stenosis - Spondylolisthesis - Vertebral fractures and spinal trauma - Spinal tumors - Revision surgery in patients previously operated on without improvement I perform both open and minimally invasive spine surgery, aiming to reduce pain, protect the nerves, and achieve faster functional recovery. Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery and Brain Tumors Specialized treatment of vascular brain diseases and intracranial tumors: - Brain aneurysms - Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) - Cavernomas - Intracerebral hemorrhage - Carotid artery disease - Cerebral revascularization surgery - Complex brain tumors Procedures are performed using advanced surgical microscopy, high-precision microsurgical techniques, and specialized surgical planning, always prioritizing patient safety and neurological preservation.
