About
Fernidad LLC was established to bring board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgical expertise to engagements that demand more than surface-level clinical knowledge — from device development and health system strategy to medicolegal matters and research consultation.
Our principal is an actively practicing neurosurgeon with a broad operative scope anchored in cranial and spinal surgery — including complex brain tumor resection, advanced spine reconstruction, and skull base surgery — complemented by subspecialty fellowship training in epilepsy, stereotactic, functional, and restorative neurosurgery. Training includes international skull base and neuro-oncology experience at a leading European academic center.
Academic formation includes residency and chief residency at a top-ranked neurological surgery program, subspecialty fellowship at a leading academic center, and an MBA with a focus on healthcare administration and entrepreneurship. This combination of clinical depth and business training informs a uniquely integrated approach to consulting.
All work is conducted with strict confidentiality, professional discretion, and a commitment to the highest standard of expert judgment.
Board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with a broad operative scope spanning brain tumor resection, skull base surgery, spine reconstruction, cerebrovascular surgery, and stereotactic, functional, and robotic neurosurgery.

Active medical director and department chair at a major academic health system, with responsibility across multiple hospital sites. Extensive experience in neurosurgery program development, service line growth, and institutional leadership.
