This month I will highlight all the amazing members of the team that make our practice and caring for patients from all of the country possible.

December employee Spotlight: Gloria Harper

Many of you know her already but an official welcome to Gloria Harper our amazing new nurse practitioner on the team who started with last summer.

Gloria is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with deep expertise in caring for patients with complex neurological conditions, including Chiari malformation, tethered cord, arachnoid cysts, hydrocephalus and shunt-dependent disorders.

Dr. Harper earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Arizona and brings over a decade of high-acuity clinical experience from leading healthcare institutions. She is deeply committed to delivering patient-centered, evidence-based neurosurgical care and ensuring that every patient feels informed, supported, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

She provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative management and support patients through evaluation, surgery and long-term follow-up. Starting in 2026 she will be seeing certain patients independently for comprehensive evaluations, triage and follow-up of all these conditions to reduce wait times, streamline access and share her unique experience balanced with the compassionate care you expect from us all.

Please join us in welcoming Gloria to the team, we are thrilled to have her and expect you will feel the same when you have the chance to meet!

As part of my well documented attemtps to re-define Chiari based on physiology rather than radiology, herniation of the brain from CSF leaks have frequently emerged during evaluations in a crucial subset of patients. You might not actually have Chiari, but simply need a world-class team to suspect, identify and fix these insidious leaks causing your brain to sag. I'm proud of my partners Gayle Salama, Ibrahim Hussain and Jared Knopman who have helped us form one of the preeminent CSF leak centers in the world at Weill Cornell Medicine. Our team gave an invited overview on a spine-focused podcast, shared with you here today! Several of my patient discussed throughout and a brief cameo at 40 minutes....Please share widely, this isn't talked about enough and is missed frequently!

Academic year wrap up and kick off after my first full year as program director for the neurosurgery training program at Weill Cornell-NYPH/MSKCC. Amazing graduates (Gary, Maricruz and Rafael), amazing guest speaker and photo-bomber, Alfredo Quinones, MD, amazing celebration after graduation, and amazing new interns (Ruth and Albert).
