Neurosurgeon

Dr Arias is trained as both a neurosurgeon and radiologist

Dr. Arias has a robust spine practice, focusing on disorders of the neck and lower back. His approach is to start with the smallest possible surgery, avoiding fusion whenever possible, and preserving motion using disc replacement techniques.

Furthermore, Dr. Arias is a recognized leader and specialist in treating brain tumors, including meningiomas, glioblastomas, and pituitary tumors. Using minimally invasive, hair preserving approaches, Dr. Arias can achieve gross total resection of some of the most complex tumors. For appropriate tumors, Dr. Arias can offer Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, and endoscopic approaches.

Patients with lesions affecting the blood vessels of the brain and neck, such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and carotid stenosis, greatly benefit from Dr. Arias’ sub-specialized training.

Traditionally, neurosurgeons provided open surgery for these lesions, while radiologists were able to present less invasive options by accessing arteries in the patient’s groin or wrist.  Dr. Arias trained as both a neurosurgeon and radiologist, so he can provide both options in a single visit, giving an unbiased and comprehensive perspective.

A Neurosurgeon's Journey

In addition to his practice in Colorado, Dr. Arias also provides charitable neurosurgical care to children in the Dominican Republic. In his free time he enjoys snowboarding, cycling, and hiking with his Bernese Mountain Dog.
