No one plans on needing emergency surgery. When it happens, it can feel overwhelming and uncertain. That’s why our team is committed to more than just treatment—we’re here to provide support, compassion, and reassurance every step of the way.

We’re so thankful for the kind words shared about Christopher Tickle, ANP-BC, who works alongside Dr. Davis Reames. Stories like Jennifer’s remind us why we do what we do, and how important it is to care for both the patient and the person.

This week, we’re proud to recognize Aury H. and Tim B. for their dedication in the OR at Neurosurgical & Spine Institute’s Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Aury has always wanted to work in the OR and loves seeing how complex neurosurgical cases are solved. She enjoys the variety each case brings, and outside of work you can find her playing piano or roaming Hobby Lobby.

Tim, an RN who often steps in as a surgical tech, has over 20 years of experience in the field. He enjoys scrubbing in to assist surgeons, and finds meaning in helping patients during their time of need. Tim especially enjoys cervical discectomy and fusion procedures, and when he’s not in the OR, you might catch him working on cars, target shooting, or enjoying Eats & Sweets in Ridgeland, SC.

Please join us in celebrating Tim and Aury for their teamwork, expertise, and commitment to our patients. Thank you both for the incredible impact you make every day!

Exceptional care is the result of teamwork. Sherri Kimes, DNP, ARNP, works closely alongside Dr. Ammar to provide patients with thorough, compassionate support every step of the way.

Patients like Jeremy often share how Sherri’s kindness, professionalism, and clear communication make a meaningful difference in their experience and confidence throughout treatment.

Her dedication to listening, educating, and guiding patients reflects the high standards our team upholds in everything we do.

We are constantly reminded that some of the bravest patients we meet are also the smallest. Childhood brain and spinal tumors are among the most challenging conditions in pediatric neurosurgery, and early, specialized care can make a life-changing difference.

Our pediatric neurosurgical team works closely with families to provide compassionate, expert care—combining advanced treatments with hope and healing for the future.

This month, we honor every child, every family, and every survivor impacted by childhood cancer. Together, we stand for awareness, research, and the promise of better outcomes.

Let’s shine a light on the importance of specialized neurosurgical care in the fight against pediatric cancer.
