Functional neurosurgeon treating trigeminal neuralgia and chronic, medication-resistant pain at the University of Chicago Department of Neurosurgery, Hyde Park.
Dr. Atik is a stereotactic and functional neurosurgeon with more than 14 years in clinical practice. At the University of Chicago Department of Neurosurgery, his work centers on the surgical treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain: microvascular decompression and radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia, spinal cord stimulation, deep brain and motor cortex stimulation, and intrathecal drug delivery for pain that has not responded to medical care.
He also leads research on network-level analysis of the brain and the integration of each patient's brain wiring (tractography) into surgical planning, working alongside the University of Chicago's multidisciplinary functional neurosurgery team.

This website provides general educational information about surgery for chronic pain and a way to request an appointment. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for evaluation by a physician. Surgery for pain is decided by a multidisciplinary team after appropriate non-surgical care. In an emergency, call 911. Requesting an appointment does not by itself establish care; a clinician-patient relationship begins at your scheduled visit.
