There's a new doctor in town and he's brought along the skills needed to perform surgical techniques, that used to require a trip to another city, right here in Corpus Christi.

Vascular and endovascular neurosurgeon, Dr. Paul Schmitt has trained and practiced specialized techniques focusing on a key issue for those with neurological problems: the arteries and veins of the brain, head, neck and spine. When these vital blood carriers have a problem, it can be life-threatening. That's when you need a specialist, and Dr. Schmitt explains why in our video above.

But according to the folks at MD Monthly Magazine, there's another thing you need to know about Dr. Schmitt: he's brought along the skill needed to employ surgical techniques that until now have required a trip to another city to treat. Now, these methods are available to patients without needing to leave the Corpus Christi area. Learn more in our video above.
