Dr. Timothy George
Dr. George is Medical Director of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Center of Central Texas at Dell Children’s. Dr. George moved to Austin, Texas in 2006 from Durham, North Carolina where he was the Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Pediatrics and Neurobiology at Duke University. Joining Children’s Hospital of Austin as Chief of Service of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Center of Central Texas, he brings his breadth of knowledge and expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, as he develops and oversees pediatric neurosurgery programs at the hospital.
Dr. George completed his medical training at New York University; his residency in Neurosurgery at Yale University School of Medicine; and his Pediatric Fellowship at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He is board certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and the American Board of Pediatric Neurological Surgery. Dr. George is also a member of the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, American Academy of Pediatrics and other scientific societies and organizations.
Current areas of research include genomics and surgical outcomes of Chiari malformation, cranial nerve stimulation for pediatric epilepsy, genomics of neural tube defects, and molecular and cellular mechanisms and abnormal development of the spinal cord.
