Silvaris Neuroscience Center — St. Louis, MO

SilverOak Neuroscience Center in St. Louis is a 260-bed specialty hospital exclusively dedicated to diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Drawing patients from across Missouri, Illinois, and the broader Mid-South region, SilverOak St. Louis offers a breadth and depth of neurological expertise matched by only a handful of institutions in the central United States — making it the referral destination of choice for the most complex and challenging neurological diagnoses.

Our epilepsy program is among the most comprehensive in the region. A 12-bed Level 4 Epilepsy Monitoring Unit employs continuous video-EEG monitoring to characterize seizure type, localize seizure onset zones, and guide surgical planning for patients whose epilepsy has not responded to adequate medication trials. Our epilepsy surgery team performs resective surgery, responsive neurostimulation (RNS) implantation, vagus nerve stimulator placement, and corpus callosotomy, with post-surgical seizure freedom rates consistently exceeding 70% for temporal lobe epilepsy.

The deep brain stimulation (DBS) program at SilverOak Neuroscience St. Louis performs more than 120 implantation procedures annually for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our interdisciplinary team — comprising movement disorder neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, and specialized nurses — evaluates each candidate through a rigorous multi-visit pathway before proceeding to surgery, maximizing the likelihood of optimal outcomes.

Rounding out our clinical portfolio are the Memory Disorders Clinic, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, a Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence, and a dedicated spine center offering both interventional pain management and minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures. Our neurologists maintain academic appointments at partner universities, ensuring that patient care at SilverOak Neuroscience St. Louis is continuously informed by the latest science emanating from the laboratory bench.
