Neurosurgeons at CNS 2013 (from left to right): Dr. Dale Swift, Dr. Henry Brem, Dr. Jeffrey Bruce, Dr. Charles Riedel, Dr. Michael B. Sisti, & Dr. E. Sander Connolly

The Neurosurgeons at Columbia University Medical Center attend annual professional meetings to share and to learn, but they also go for the chance to see great friends and colleagues.

This was the case in spades at this year’s meeting of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons that just wrapped up in San Francisco this week.

One of these happy reunions was captured in the photo above where Columbia Neurosurgeons, Dr. Michael B. Sisti (in blue suit), Dr. Jeffrey Bruce (to his right), and Dr. E. Sander Connolly (to his left), connected with Dr. Henry Brem, Chair of NSU at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Dale Swift, Pediatric Neurosurgeon at Medical City in Dallas Texas, and Dr. Charles Riedel from Virginia Neurosurgeons in Arlington.
