Alain C.J. de Lotbinière, M.D., C.M., F.A.C.S., F.R.C.S.C, of Stamford, CT and Armonk, NY resident Thomas Lansen, M.D., F.A.C.S., both principals of Brain & Spine Surgeons of New York in White Plains, were named to Westchester magazine’s annual list of the county’s “top doctors” in the November 2009 issue, the only neurosurgeons named this year. The seven neurosurgeons and one orthopedic spinal surgeon at Brain & Spine Surgeons of New York have consistently received awards of excellence, making it the premier private neurosurgical practice in the New York metropolitan area.

Westchester magazine’s “top doctors” list is compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a healthcare research and information company founded in 1991 to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals. Castle Connolly’s established survey and research process involves tens of thousands of outstanding physicians and the medical leadership of the best hospitals.

Both Dr. Lansen and Dr. de Lotbinière are experts in gamma knife surgery and serve as co-directors of the Gamma Knife Center at Northern Westchester Hospital Center in Mount Kisco. Gamma Knife surgery is a technique to noninvasively target brain tumors, vascular malformations and neural structures.

In addition to being an internationally recognized expert in Gamma Knife surgery, Dr. de Lotbinière specializes in functional neurosurgery, a branch of neurosurgery utilized to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and Tourette’s syndrome, among other disorders. He also treats pain of spinal origin and craniofacial pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia.
