Neurosurgical Associates of Southwestern CT defines the art of medicine as listening to and communicating with its patients, a practice they strive to perform daily. They have been serving
the Greater Danbury and Norwalk communities for more than 30 years. Drs. S. Javed Shahid, Ramon A. Batson and Scott P. Sanderson, the three neurosurgeons at this general neurosurgery
practice, maintain that being a surgeon who doesn’t always think surgery first is the most effective means of delivering quality care and earning your patients’ confidence. All three doctors are attending physicians at Danbury and Norwalk hospitals.

• DR. RAMON A.
BATSON (left) received his medical degree from Upstate Medical Center and completed his residency at Tufts University. He is co-director of the Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Program and chief of neurosurgery at Norwalk Hospital.

• DR. S. JAVED
SHAHID (center) earned his medical degree from Dow Medical College, University of Karachi and completed residencies in general surgery and neurosurgery at Downstate Medical Center, Kings County Hospital. He is chief of neurosurgery and co-director of the Spine Program at Danbury Hospital

• DR. SCOTT P.
SANDERSON (right) earned his medical degree
at the State University of New York at Syracuse and completed his surgical internship and residency in neurological surgery and an internal complex spine fellowship at New York University Medical Center. He is an assistant clinical professor of neurosurgery at New York University Medical Center.
Dr. Sanderson says, “Patients today are consumers. If you
educate them, they feel comfortable working with you. At the same time, people are wary because too many surgeons suggest surgery as the first option. We explore all other treatment possibilities prior to surgery. When you do that, you earn patients’
respect.” He adds, “Our greatest satisfaction is when patients tell us we helped them get their lives back, and refer others to us.”
