Dr. Eve Tsai is a Staff Neurosurgeon at the The Ottawa Hospital in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. She also is an Assistant Professor and the University of Ottawa. Her little bio is below.
Dr. Eve Tsai MD, PhD, CIP, FRCSC gained early acceptance into medical school and obtained her medical degree from the University of Toronto . She then completed her Neurosurgery Residency training at the University of Toronto . During her residency, she completed a PhD in spinal cord repair. Dr. Tsai then obtained subspecialty training in spine surgery and completed a Spine Fellowship at The Cleveland Clinic. She has won numerous clinical, research, teaching and humanitarian awards.
Dr. Eve Tsai began her practice at the Ottawa Hospital on October 1, 2006 . Her main surgical interests focus on all types of spine and spinal cord diseases such as: spinal cord injury, spinal cord and spine tumors, syringomyelia, and myelopathy. Her research focuses on spinal cord repair strategies, axonal regeneration, MRI imaging of spinal cord tracts in humans and animals, and clinical outcomes after spine surgery.
Dr. Tsai successfully removed my spinal cord tumor on May 12, 2008. During the 7 and 1/2 hour surgery she removed my tumor. Testing showed it to be a very rare gangliocytic paraganglioma, but it was non-cancerous. The tumor extended from L-1 to L-3 and pushed posteriorly on the nerve roots there, she was able to not only get the entire tumor, but also save all my motor function and sensory abilities. Although she had to remove T-12 to L-3, I was able to go back to work 5 weeks after surgery. Almost 2 years later I have no residual side affects. If it wasn't for the big scar on my back...you'd never know anything had been wrong.
I highly recommend Dr. Tsai - she really is a phenomenal neurosurgeon.
