medical articles and book chapters as well as
developing an experimental brain retractor that

He is a member of multiple national neurosurgical
societies, and is a diplomat of the American Board
of Neurological Surgery.
Dr.
Voorhies’ scope of practice includes
general adult neurosurgery with a special emphasis
on complex spine and minimally invasive spinal
operations. He was one of the first specialists
in this region to perform minimally invasive lumbar
disc surgery.
Dr.
Voorhies continues his interest in surgical
outcome research in an ongoing effort to monitor
and improve treatment results. He has been regularly
featured in the New Orleans Magazine annual listing

environment centered on the campus of East Jefferson
General Hospital, which emphasizes individual
patient care and attention. Dr. Voorhies
looks forward to this wonderful opportunity to
continue to help serve the neurosurgical needs
of the Gulf Coast region.
