POSITION

Neurosurgeon

AREAS OF SPECIALTY

  • Brain Tumor surgery (benign and malignant)
  • Spine Tumor surgery (benign and malignant)
  • Spine surgery for a variety of conditions including Degenerative disk disease
  • Pain syndromes such as Trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia
  • Hemifacial spasm surgery
  • Movement disorder surgery (Asleep Deep brain stimulation surgery)
  • Failed back surgery syndrome
  • Surgical treatments for Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
  • Surgical treatments for Chronic neuropathic pain
  • Spinal Cord Stimulators
  • Cervical Myelopathy
  • Cervical and Lumbar Radiculopathy
  • Disk herniations
  • Epilepsy Surgery
  • Cranial and Spinal Trauma Surgeries
  • Minimally invasive Spinal Surgeries

Dr. Hardaway is an active researcher with participation in multiple studies in her field. She has also authored numerous professional papers, posters, and abstracts on such topics including Trigeminal Neuralgia, Deep Brain Stimulation, and neurosurgical treatment of chronic pain disorders.

Dr. Hardaway has received recognition for her academic achievements over the course of her studies and continues to be active in continuing education to ensure her patients have access to the latest advances and knowledge in neurosurgery. While she practices a broad range of neurosurgical procedures on patients with many conditions, she focuses her practice on spine surgeries, brain mapping for tumors and epilepsy, and the treatment of pain disorders including facial pain and chronic back and leg pain.

She is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the North American Neuromodulation Society.
