In addition to new and innovative surgical techniques that help prevent stroke, repair vertebral arteries at various levels and repair or prevent other heart and vascular conditions, the Detroit Medical Center offers extensive diagnostic and rehabilitative services. All of this care is backed by specialists who practice throughout the Detroit Medical Center.
