Doctor's Biography
An early proponent of advanced technologies, Dr. Vingan has been at the forefront of minimally invasive procedures; he was among the first in New Jersey to use frameless cranial and spinal navigation systems, endoscopic cranial and spinal techniques and other minimally invasive brain and spine procedures.
Dr. Vingan is a strong advocate of conservative care, but when surgery is appropriate, he uses state-of-the-art techniques to improve outcomes and speed recovery. He is committed to staying on top of new technology developments and surgical innovations, and was among the first neurosurgeons in the region to use minimally invasive brain and spine surgical procedures.
