Dr. Helson Pacheco-Serrant The thought of brain or spinal surgery would worry anyone of us. That is where Dr. Pacheco-Serrant comes in. Commonly referred to as Dr. Pacheco, he is not only one of our city’s top neurosurgeons, but he also has the personal experience of having lost his own father to a brain aneurysm as an adjunct to his credentials. As the story goes, he knew from a young age that he wanted to be a surgeon and after losing his father at 16, his vision became his life’s mission. What followed was a college degree, M.D. and subsequent residency from the University of Puerto Rico, and then ultimately, a move to our Sun City. The move could not have been better as Dr. Pacheco is the only fully bilingual neurosurgeon in town, which proves to be extremely beneficial for patients as it eliminates the need for a translator (a common scenario here). Aside from a wide array of cutting edge services for the brain, spine, and nerves, including brain tumors, minimally-invasive spine surgery, and gamma knife procedures; the procedures are streamlined to augment the patient’s overall outcome, above the national average by keeping the general anesthesia times to a minimum. Bottom-line: This top neurosurgeon is not only adept at the most cutting-edge procedures around, but he can truly relate to the experiences of his patients and their loved ones. And that’s priceless!
