Marcus Neuroscience Institute Expands Services in Palm Beach County
New location now available to patients in Boynton Beach
Boca Raton, FL – Marcus Neuroscience Institute is expanding its services to Boynton Beach, making breakthrough neurological care more accessible for northern and central Palm Beach County patients seeking comprehensive treatment for conditions affecting the brain, spine and peripheral nervous system.
The new location, at 2800 S. Seacrest Boulevard, Suite 160 in Boynton Beach, will offer neurology and
neurosurgery services, including inpatient care.
Established in 2015, Marcus Neuroscience Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, is an innovative
center of care for neurologic and neurosurgical care. Here, using cutting edge technology, experts address
conditions from brain tumors to back pain — and everything in between. That includes movement disorders,
seizures, life-threatening strokes and aneurysms, memory disorders, migraines, spine conditions and diseases
such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, to name a few.
Marcus Neuroscience Institute, based at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, was established with a lead gift of
$25 million from the Marcus Foundation, initiated by Billi and Bernie Marcus, the founder and former CEO
of The Home Depot. The Marcus Foundation has committed an additional $15 million to expand the
Institute, which houses four dedicated operating rooms — including one equipped with intraoperative MRI
and two with intraoperative CT capability. The hospital is also the first in the nation to feature both the
highly sophisticated Siemens ARTIS Icono Biplane imaging equipment and the Corindus CorPath GRX
Robotic surgical system in one place.
Using state-of-the art technology that promises to become tomorrow’s standard of care, the Institute recently
performed their first robotic-assisted spine surgery using the highly advanced Mazor XTM Robotic Guidance
Platform, which combines 3D pre-operative planning, robotic guidance and intra-operative surgical
navigation.
“We are very well equipped with the newest technology,” says neurosurgeon Frank Vrionis, M.D., director
of the Institute. “Our goal is to bring the most advanced care to as many people as possible, changing lives as
we address a wide range of cases, including the most delicate and complex.”
Beyond a stunning facility and sophisticated technology, the Institute is highly regarded because of its
exceptional standard of care. Marcus Neuroscience Institute is home to the neurological residency program
of Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.
Marcus Neuroscience Institute has earned the Gold Seal of Approval® for Spinal Surgery Certification from
The Joint Commission, the nation’s premier independent accreditation organization. The Gold Seal reflects
commitment to the highest standards of excellence and safety in patient care.
The Institute also has been recognized as a comprehensive stroke center by DNV GL Healthcare, a nationally
recognized certifying organization, and has been certified as a Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center by The
Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
More recently, Marcus Neuroscience Institute was recognized by U.S. News &World Report for its
excellence in neurological and stroke care.
