Neuro & Coluna Rio is a clinic specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system.
With locations in Ipanema and Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, the clinic brings together five neurosurgeons with expertise in complementary areas of the specialty. This integrated approach allows each case to be evaluated carefully and comprehensively, considering the different diagnostic and treatment options available.
The medical team specializes 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 individual needs.
Contemporary medicine requires technical expertise, continuous education and the ability to assess each patient comprehensively.
For this reason, the work of Neuro & Coluna Rio is guided by evidence-based medical practice, individualized planning and the careful use of technological resources.
The medical 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 understanding of Neurosurgery and allow different conditions to be evaluated from complementary perspectives.
Whenever medically indicated, the team considers modern techniques and minimally invasive approaches, seeking to reduce the impact of procedures and support a more appropriate recovery. Treatment decisions, however, are always made carefully, taking into account each patient’s clinical condition, diagnostic tests and individual needs.
Neuro & Coluna Rio is formed by Dr. Caio Perret, Dr. Diogo Gonçalves Freitas, Dr. José Alberto Almeida Filho, Dr. Raphael Dias Machado and Dr. Ronald de Lucena Farias.
Each physician has a unique educational and professional background, with experience in different areas of Neurosurgery.
The team brings together expertise in spinal disorders, endoscopic surgery, vascular neurosurgery, endovascular treatment of brain aneurysms and stroke, cerebral vascular malformations, neuro-oncology, nervous system tumors, skull base surgery, peripheral nerve conditions and pain management.
This diversity of expertise allows each patient to be directed to the specialist 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 responsible, safe and individualized assessments.
The decision to consult a neurosurgeon often arises during a time of uncertainty, concern or anxiety. For this reason, care begins with attentive listening.
Each patient is evaluated individually, taking into account their medical history, symptoms, diagnostic tests, daily routine and expectations regarding treatment.
The team seeks to explain diagnoses and treatment options in a clear and accessible manner, allowing patients to understand each stage and actively participate in decisions about their own care.
Not every condition requires surgery. When conservative treatment alternatives are available, they are considered according to the circumstances of 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.
