Full Bio of Daniel Carr, DO
My practice is based out of Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons. I primarily operate at Henry Ford Providence Hospitals in southeast Michigan where I take general neurosurgery call and perform most of my elective surgeries. I am fellowship trained in spine and have passions in minimally invasive spine and spinal deformity (particularly cervical deformity). I also serve as the Associate Program Director of the Neurosurgical residency at the Providence. In other roles, I am the Chief of the Neurosurgery Division at Trinity Health Livonia Hospital, the chair elect of the Neurosurgical discipline at the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, and have filled various hospital committee roles on clinical peer review, trauma quality improvement and resident education. I am committed to advancing neurosurgery not only through my practice but also through engagement and support of medical students and residents.
Why are you interested in serving on the Board of Directors?
I have always been interested in organized neurosurgery for learning and sharing of ideas. It is also of great interest to myself to maintain a collegial relationship amongst the neurosurgeons that I work with locally and regionally. I believe that making and keeping relationships with other neurosurgeons from the state will help the patients I care for and direct the patients I cant care for to the correct practices.
What are you goals for the organization, and how would you help achieve them if elected to the Board?
It is my intention to continue to involve fellows, residents and medical students in the MANS organization. It allows for networking for them to achieve their career goals as well as to learn. In addition, it would be excellent to create a database of neurosurgeons that is searchable and really hones in 1-3 niches that each surgeon excels in.
