Fellowship-trained neurosurgeon Evan Winograd, MD in Carlsbad leads North County Neurosurgery from Paseo Del Norte in the 92011 medical corridor near the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. A Sackler School of Medicine (Tel Aviv University) graduate who completed neurosurgery residency at the University at Buffalo and a neurosurgical oncology fellowship at the University of Colorado, he performs fluorescein-guided tumor resections and awake craniotomies that require pre- and post-operative visual-field monitoring through providers at Village Optometry. His subspecialty in neurosurgical oncology complements a broader scope covering minimally invasive spine surgery, traumatic brain injury, and spinal deformity correction. Post-surgical recovery protocols for complex cases extend into home-based rehabilitation coordinated through BrightStar Care for patients requiring supervised neurological recovery at home. His most technically demanding cases involve image-guided craniotomy with intraoperative cortical mapping, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, and minimally invasive lumbar decompression using tubular retractor systems.
