Meet Dr. Douglas Moreland!

Dr. Moreland is a board-certified neurosurgeon at UBNS and a native of the Buffalo region. He joined UBNS in 2015 after completing his medical education and neurosurgery residency at the University at Buffalo.

He specializes in spinal surgery and minimally invasive spine procedures, treating conditions such as spinal fusions, herniated and degenerative disk disease, spinal stenosis, instability syndromes, and tumors. He also evaluates and treats sacroiliac (S-I joint) dysfunction with advanced minimally invasive surgery.

In addition to his spine expertise, Dr. Moreland developed the Gamma Knife Program at Roswell Park over twenty years ago and continues to treat patients with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, as well as peripheral nerve compressive problems like carpal tunnel.

"Delighted to share our work led by Dr. Vince Tutino, Kerry Poppenberg, Nandor Pinter and team that demonstrates the utility of using a radiogenomics approach to differentiate lower risk aneurysms from higher risk. A blood test and noninvasive imaging may help better patient selection for treatment." - Dr. Adnan Siddiqui

Big strides in understanding intracranial aneurysm biology, led by Dr. Rosalind Lai, in collaboration with Joey D. Morgan, Dr. Elad Levy, and Dr. Adnan Siddiqui.

A new study highlights key genes and pathways that may shape future diagnostics and treatments.

From extracellular matrix changes to inflammatory and endocrine signaling, these findings deepen our insight into aneurysm development.

When it comes to complex brain and spine conditions, our specialists use cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques that heal faster and hurt less.

Our advanced techniques use small incisions and high-precision tools to access the spine and skull base, reducing pain, scarring, and recovery time for patients.

Our neurosurgeons treat a range of degenerative spine issues—including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal tumors—with personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs.

By combining surgical expertise with the latest technology, we strive to improve outcomes and help patients return to their daily lives faster and safer.

Learn more about our minimally invasive approach and how it may be right for you.

A new study evaluated the effectiveness of a less invasive treatment for chronic subdural hematomas. The approach combines SEPS (a small port used to drain fluid) with MMAE (a procedure that stops bleeding by blocking a blood vessel).

The study was led by recent UBNS resident, Dr. Jaims Lim, and UBNS neurosurgeons Dr. Kenneth Snyder, Dr. Elad Levy, Dr. Jason Davies, and Dr. Adnan Siddiqui were among the many contributors to this important research.

Here are a few key takeaways:

🔹 ~81% hematoma volume reduction by 6–8 weeks
🔹 Only 7.3% of patients required additional treatment
🔹 No major complications reported

This approach could offer safer, less invasive care for at-risk patients.
