New Faculty Welcome Party a Success

On September 23, 2009, the Department of Neurosurgery officially welcomed two new faculty members. Guests included members from the medical community at large as well as from departments within NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Both new faculty are already familiar faces in the department and bring outstanding expertise to the department that is expanding clinical coverage in pediatric neurosurgery and endovascular treatment of vascular diseases of the brain. Dr. Athos D. Patsalides had trained in the department, and Dr. Jeffrey P. Greenfield formerly served as a Chief Resident (click for bios). Dr. Philip E. Stieg, Chairman of Neurosurgery, welcomed Drs. Greenfield and Patsalides describing their areas of expertise and emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neuroscience/Neurology. Dr. Matthew E. Fink, Chairman for Clinical Services in the Department of Neurology and Neuroscience, then welcomed two new faculty members to his department: Dr. Timothy Vartanian (Multiple Sclerosis) and Dr. Elyana Rubens (Epilepsy).
