Brisman M.D., F.A.C.S., the CEO of Rockville Centre, NY-based NSPC Brain & Spine Surgery, has been published by Manhattan’s Spinger Publishing Company. Entitled, Put Down the Knife: A Fresh Look at Adult Brain Surgery, the book promotes the importance of minimally invasive surgical procedures and conservative treatment options. Copies of Put Down the Knife may be ordered from several online booksellers, including Amazon Books.

According to the publisher, “This book explores adult brain surgery from a more conservative vantage point, highlighting potential errors in thought related to decision-making and rationales for brain surgery as well as interpretation of the surgical literature.” In addition, “focused chapters” provide a discussion of “less invasive and even non-invasive approaches for various conditions of the brain, including tumors, cysts, hematomas, pain and movement disorders, skull base disorders, and much more.”

Board-certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgeons and a Fellow of the American College of, Dr. Brisman has been in practice on Long Island for over 25 years. He is the Co-Medical Director of The Gamma Knife ® Center at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside and was the Chief of Neurosurgery and Co-Director of the Neuroscience Institute at NYU Winthrop Hospital (now NYU Langone – Long Island) in Mineola.
