The Affiliations and Expertise of Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheimer

There are only few doctors who specialized in neurosurgery like Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheimer. This is the reason why their services are most sought after. Dr. Oppenheimer is a well-known neurosurgeon who was affiliated in 18 hospitals in the greater New York area. These include the New York Presbyterian Hospital / Columbia, New York-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell, Nyack Hospital, Community General Hospital of Greater Syracuse, St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital – Newburg Campus, Good Samaritan Hospital, Bon Secours Community, Orange Regional Medical Center Goshen, among others. Hospital affiliation is oftentimes a reflection of the quality of doctors associated with it. With the quality of these hospitals, people will know the kind of doctor he is. At present, he was also appointed at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons where he worked as a professor since 1995. This is his way of giving back to the field of neurosurgery so that more expert doctors will work in the field.

Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheimer has over 25 years experience in the medical field. He was also the author of 17 publications. One of these is his article entitled “Neurological Recovery after Cranioplasty”. Dr. Oppenheimer was able to perform the procedure on a patient who sustained a gunshot wound to the head and who was treated with neurosurgical intervention. After the procedure, the patient developed significant improvement in motor function of his left upper extremity which has been plegic after the injury. This just proves that cranioplasty can be indicated in certain patients despite the controversy regarding the procedure.
