Meet Dr. Tanya Dixon

Dr. Tanya Dixon is a distinguished board-certified neurosurgeon with fellowship training in both endovascular and microsurgical techniques. She specializes in minimally invasive spine surgeries and the treatment of complex brain pathologies, including aneurysms, vascular malformations, and carotid artery stenosis.

Dr. Dixon is committed to understanding her patients’ experiences and guiding them through their recovery journeys. Reflecting on her own experiences as a patient, she states, “I have been a patient myself. I have had surgery. I understand what a person goes through and how scary it can be. It is so rewarding to see patients before and after, when they are able to play with their kids and grandkids.”
