Continuing Mayfield’s tradition of leadership in national organizations to enhance the future of neurosurgery, five of our neurosurgeons have secured new or renewed appointments.
Mayfield neurosurgeons have established a breadth of expertise across a wide spectrum of neurosurgical specialties throughout the 85-year history of the independent practice, and the newest appointments highlight the continuing expertise and the benefit to patients.
“These appointments demonstrate Mayfield’s continuing excellence and leadership to advance the practice of neurosurgery and serve our patients with elite neurosurgical care,” said Mark Vorherr, chief executive officer. “This is what Mayfield physicians have done for 85 years – demonstrate their commitment to innovation in clinical care, education and research.”
They include:
- Dr. Vincent DiNapoli has been appointed to the Executive Committee of the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons. Dr. DiNapoli’s specific role will include membership on the Skull Base Committee.
- Dr. Ronald Warnick was re-appointed to the Advisory Board of the Executive Committee of the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors.
- Dr. Yair Gozal has earned an appointment to the Membership Committee of the North American Skull Base Society.
“The complex and precise nature of skull base surgery calls for continuous improvement through education and training,” Dr. Gozal said. “Involvement in the Skull Base Society will allow us to learn from each other and enhance our service to patients.”
- Dr. Andrew Ringer is the new section co-editor of Surgical Videos for the journal Operative Neurosurgery. Early in 2022, he also secured an appointment as vice chair of the AANS/CNS Cerebrovascular Section.
- Dr. Zachary Tempel has been appointed to the Scientific Program Committee of the AANS/CNS Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves.
“Groundbreaking research into new tools and techniques for spinal reconstruction surgery will benefit patients and improve their daily lives,” Dr. Tempel said. “I look forward to collaborations that will advance the discipline and help neurosurgeons add to their portfolio of advanced diagnosis and treatment.”
