Neurosurgery, Spine Surgery, and Interventional Neuroradiology

Dr. José Alberto Almeida Filho believes that modern medicine reaches its full potential when it combines the most advanced technology with attentive and compassionate care.

His career as a neurosurgeon is guided by a commitment to providing treatments that not only address complex conditions but also respect each patient’s time, personal history, and quality of life.

He graduated from the Souza Marques School of Medicine and completed his medical residency in Neurosurgery at Hospital Municipal Miguel Couto, in Rio de Janeiro. As a member of the Brazilian Society of Neurosurgery, he continuously seeks to incorporate modern techniques that provide safety and precision in every procedure.

One of the main pillars of his practice is Interventional Neuroradiology. After completing fellowships at Hospital Santa Teresa, in Petrópolis, and at CHU Dupuytren, in Limoges, France, he specialized in endovascular techniques for the treatment of aneurysms, vascular malformations, and strokes.

These procedures can be performed through catheterization, using a percutaneous approach and without the need for large incisions, resulting in less trauma and a faster recovery when medically indicated.

His care is individualized and provided in Portuguese, English, or French. The goal is to translate the complexity of neurosurgery into a clear, welcoming, and safe care plan for the patient.
