Dr. Abood chose medicine as a career in order to make a difference. He is inspired by the technical demands of neurosurgery and the reward of helping people overcome difficult problems. He joined Lansing Neurosurgery in 1997 after completing his training with a Spine Surgery Fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. The results of his research have been published in several journals including Journal of Neurosurgery. His cases cover the range of neurosurgical disorders, including brain tumors, head trauma, spinal disorders, spinal infections and trauma. He finds it very rewarding to interact with the greater Lansing community, especially in treating people of widely varying ages. His goal for Lansing Neurosurgery is that it remain a world-class provider of neurosurgical care to the greater Lansing community.
Dr. Abood enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, especially on Lake Michigan. He is a member of many community organizations. He is an advisor to the Greater Lansing Food Bank, founded by his father,and a member of the Sparrow Foundation Board of Directors. |
