Professor and Chair
Co-Director, The Center for Cranial Base Surgery
Director, Loyola Neuroscience Service Line

Dr. Origitano assumed oversight of the department as Professor of Neurological Surgery and Chair in April 1997. Since that time he has doubled the faculty, and opened new laboratories in neuro-oncology and spinal cord injury. He has been invited to speak at national and international symposia about his clinical expertise in Cranial Base Surgery, Cerebrovascular Disorders, and Neuro-oncology. Dr. Origitano has personally overseen the growth of the department's reputation and local presence, planning and developing the new Neuro Intensive Care Unit, Inpatient Facility, and Neurosurgery Office Space and Laboratories.
