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.
Dr. Mark Lee
Dr. Lee moved to Austin, Texas in the beginning of 2009 from Augusta, Georgia where he was previously Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery, and the Allen Distinguished Chair in Neurosurgery (endowed) at the Medical College of Georgia. He brings his expertise in Pediatric Neurosurgery with a special emphasis in Epilepsy Surgery. In addition to his work in pediatric neurosurgery, he is working closely with pediatric neurologists at Dell Children’s Medical Center to develop a world-class Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Center. Dr. Lee completed his medical training at the University of Chicago; his residency in Neurosurgery at New York University; his Pediatric Neurosurgery fellowship at New York University; and his Epilepsy Surgery (Physiological Neurosurgery) fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia. He is board certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and the American Board of Pediatric Neurological Surgery. Dr. Lee is a member of many medical societies including the Society of Neurological Surgeons, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the American Epilepsy Society.
