Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center makes a difference in the lives of those suffering from diseases, disorders and injuries of the brain, spine and nervous system with a clinical Neuroscience program that spans more than three decades of service to Arizona.
We have established a world-class Neuroscience Center where state-of-the-art clinical care occurs on our campus. Our Neuroscience Division has brought together a diverse group of clinicians to provide comprehensive state-of-the-art services. We have specialists from Neurology, Neurosurgery, Medical Imaging, Rehabiltation, Trauma Surgery and Radiation Oncology who work together collaboratively.
A myriad of supporting disciplines including Neurophysiology, Neuropsychology, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy and other services are available, as well.
Our Neuroscience Clinics provide care for patients with multiple sclerosis, ALS, Peripheral Neuropathy and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease at regionally or nationally certified facilities. Additionally, our Outreach Department can help facilitate physician referrals to our center.
Banner Good Samaritan treats an array of neurological conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, brain tumors and aneurysms, and a wide range of spinal cord injuries through specialists in Medical Imaging and Interventional Radiology, Radiation Oncology, and a Level I Trauma Center.
Banner Good Samaritan is one of Arizona’s largest medical education centers. The hospital operates a clinical residency program in Neurology and Neurosurgery. Through the program, residents complete five years of training in the diagnosis, management and treatment of various neurological conditions, injuries and disorders.
We provide a wide range of services and our caring staff understands the patient's changing needs. We also offer education and support to help families and caregivers make choices and decisions in the continuing care of their loved ones.

The hospital’s drive to explore and provide new treatment options has made it a pioneer in neuroscience research.
In 2004, researchers at the Banner Good Samaritan PET Center detected the earliest known brain changes in those at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. These brain abnormalities were identified in healthy young adults carrying a common susceptibility gene for Alzheimer’s disease more than four decades before the possible onset of memory and thinking problems.
Ground-breaking research initiatives coupled with a multidisciplinary approach to patient care illustrate Banner Good Samaritan’s commitment to patients suffering from neurologic disorders and the overall field of neurosciences.
