Neuro & Coluna Rio is a clinic specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system.
With clinics in Ipanema and Tijuca, in Rio de Janeiro, the practice brings together five neurosurgeons specializing in complementary areas. This integration allows for a comprehensive and careful assessment of each case, considering the different possibilities for investigation and treatment.
The team practices in Neurosurgery, Spine Surgery, Vascular Neurosurgery, Interventional Neuroradiology, Neuro-Oncology, Skull Base Surgery, and Pain Management.
More than bringing together different specialties, Neuro & Coluna Rio is committed to providing medical care based on expertise, precision, scientific advancement, and respect for each patient’s individuality.
Contemporary medicine requires technical expertise, continuous development, and the ability to evaluate each patient comprehensively.
For this reason, Neuro & Coluna Rio’s practice is guided by evidence-based medicine, individualized planning, and the careful use of technological resources.
The team has trained and gained experience at renowned institutions in Brazil and abroad, including Hospital Municipal Miguel Couto, the Brazilian National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, the Sarah Network, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Mayo Clinic Florida, Toronto Western Hospital, CHU Dupuytren in France, and Hospital Santa Teresa.
These professional backgrounds contribute to an integrated view of Neurosurgery and allow different conditions to be assessed through complementary areas of expertise.
Whenever indicated, the team considers modern techniques and minimally invasive approaches, aiming to reduce the impact of procedures and support a more appropriate recovery. However, treatment decisions are made carefully, respecting each patient’s clinical characteristics, test results, and individual needs.
Neuro & Coluna Rio’s medical team consists of Dr. Caio Perret, Dr. Diogo Gonçalves Freitas, Dr. José Alberto Almeida Filho, Dr. Raphael Dias Machado, and Dr. Ronald de Lucena Farias.
Each professional has their own educational and professional background, with experience in different areas of Neurosurgery.
The team brings together expertise in spinal conditions, endoscopic surgery, vascular neurosurgery, endovascular treatment of aneurysms and strokes, cerebral vascular malformations, neuro-oncology, nervous system tumors, skull base surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, and pain management.
This diversity of backgrounds allows each patient to be referred to the professional best suited to their needs while maintaining integrated communication and a standard of care aligned with the clinic’s principles.
At Neuro & Coluna Rio, the medical team is one of the main pillars of patient care. Each professional contributes their experience to provide a responsible, safe, and individualized assessment.
The decision to consult a neurosurgeon often comes at a time of uncertainty, insecurity, or concern. For this reason, care begins with listening.
Each patient is evaluated individually, considering their medical history, symptoms, test results, routine, and expectations regarding treatment.
The team strives to explain the diagnosis and treatment options clearly and accessibly so that the patient understands each stage and can participate in decisions about their own care.
Not all conditions require surgery. When conservative treatment options are available, they are considered according to each case. When a procedure is necessary, the recommendation is made responsibly, with careful planning and attention to detail.
The goal is to build a relationship of trust based on information, transparency, and close follow-up.
