We are the Toronto Western Neurovascular Group

We are committed to providing comprehensive care, advancing education, and conducting research on vascular disorders affecting the central nervous system. Our multidisciplinary program was established in 1989 by Dr. Karel ter Brugge, one of the pioneers in interventional neuroradiology, and Dr. Christopher Wallace, a distinguished vascular neurosurgeon. The team is led by neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurologists, and radiation specialists encompassing a wide range of expertise and treatment options for neurovascular diseases.

Why refer your patient to us:

Multidisciplinary Approach

Before your patient visits our clinic, we review and discuss their case with our multidisciplinary team that brings diverse knowledge and skills to evaluate each case thoroughly. This collaborative approach allows us to provide fast and accurate assessments, saving valuable time for both you and your patient.

One Appointment

Your patient will consult with all relevant specialists in a single appointment: our comprehensive team is conveniently housed under one roof — all at the same time. This means no need for multiple appointments.We offer two specialized multidisciplinary clinics for complex and rare neurovascular diseases.
