LIFECHANGES with Millennial Brain Surgeon Dr. Zain Allison (Love Extremist Radio Season 4)

Dr. Zain Allison is a Lakewood CO based neurosurgeon and spine surgeon who specializes in cranial and spinal neurosurgery with an interest in neurotrauma, neuro-oncology, open neurovascular surgery, and minimally invasive and traditional spine surgeries. Dr. Allison has worked in Madagascar and Bali, and founded a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, “Gratia Servo,” to help fund access to emergency medical care in Madagascar. Working in different regions of the world as well as the US has given Dr. Allison a unique perspective when caring for patients with different backgrounds, approaching difficult medical decisions by treating patients as if they are part of his family.  His goal is to inform patients of all of their options, both surgical and nonsurgical, while guiding them toward realistic expectations.

In this episode Ethan and Zain talk about the intricacies of neurosurgery, the major LIFECHANGE that Zain experienced at 18 that eventually led him to become a neurosurgeon and how he operates as a doctor and a millennial in response to patients going through challenging diagnosis.
