Expertise

Dr. Savage's clinical focus is multifaceted. In the area of neuro-oncology, he specializes in cranial base tumors, including pituitary tumors, meningiomas, schwannomas, and chordomas. As well, he has expertise with cerebrovascular disorders, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid occlusive disease, and stroke. Dr. Savage also holds an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of adult degenerative spinal disorders, spinal AVMs, neurotrauma, epilepsy, cranial nerve disorders, and peripheral nerve disease.

Dr. Savage's research interests include the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development and regulation of cranial base tumors and cerebrovascular disorders. Specifically, he has authored numerous publications addressing the development and regulation of the pituitary gland and hopes to continue to investigate the molecular etiology of Cushing's Disease as well as brain arteriovenous malformations.
