About

Since 1962 Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery has been serving the Saginaw and greater Michigan community, both medically and philanthropically.

In creating the practice, Dr. E. Malcolm Field wanted to combine his medical skills and deep desire to help people.

Today, 45 years later, SVN is widely recognized as one of the nation's premier neurosurgical practices.

In addition to having established a reputation for clinical excellence, SVN has contributed to neurosugrical excellence through its research efforts. SVN doctors play an active role at the Field Neurosciences Institute, a research organization founded by Dr. Field. The organization is dedicated to research that will advance neurological treatment and improve patient outcomes.

The practice is led by Dr. Field and his colleagues, Dr. Gerald R. Schell, and Dr. Naman Salibi. As nationally recognized leaders in neurosurgery, Dr. Field and Dr. Schell have performed some of the most complex neurosurgical procedures with astounding success rates, pioneered the use of the latest technological innovations, and continue to be on the forefront of neurological discoveries.

Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery is now more than ever a beacon of hope for those afflicted with nervous system damage. The practice also serves the community through its involvement with the Valley Victory Games of Michigan for Paralympic Athletes, ThinkFirst (a national injury prevention foundation), and local arts programs.

Through a continued commitment to research and quality service, a high-caliber staff, and strong moral devotion, Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery will extend its history of excellence into the future.
