DR. FRANKLIN EPSTEIN
Understanding the Neurosurgery Field
An experienced neurosurgeon, Dr. Franklin Epstein cares for patients at Audie L. Murphy
Memorial Hospital and is a member of the Department of Neurosurgical Science at the
University of Texas Health Science Center. A physician who specializes in neurosurgery focuses
on diagnosing and treating health problems related to the nervous system and its supporting
structures. Experts like Dr. Franklin Epstein help people by carrying out complex operations on
sensitive areas like the brain and spine. For instance, neurosurgeons perform such innovative
procedures as deep brain stimulation, which alleviates symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Understanding the Neurosurgery Field
Before becoming a neurosurgeon, physicians must undergo at least seven more years of training
after graduating from medical school. In the event a physician wishes to further sub-specialize, he
or she will likely require close to an additional decade of study past medical school. To secure
certification through the American Board of Neurological Surgery, prospective neurosurgeons
must complete the requisite residency training and pass a final examination.
