MORRISTOWN, NJ — Neurosurgeons of New Jersey announced that Dr. Luigi Bassani is now seeing pediatric spine patients in Morristown, NJ, expanding local access to specialist pediatric-focused neurosurgical care for families managing scoliosis, spinal deformities, and other pediatric spinal conditions.
Dr. Bassani is a board-certified neurosurgeon with a subspecialty in pediatric neurosurgery. His clinical focus includes scoliosis, spinal deformities, Chiari malformations, tethered cord syndrome, and other complex neurological and spinal disorders.
The announcement comes as many families managing pediatric spine conditions continue to navigate years of follow-up appointments, imaging, and specialist evaluations during key developmental stages. Statistics from the Scoliosis Research Society suggest scoliosis affects roughly 2–3% of adolescents, potentially impacting an estimated 2,000–3,500 children and teenagers across Morris County alone.
“Pediatric spine conditions can involve years of monitoring and follow-up during important growth stages, which can be stressful for families trying to balance school, work, appointments, and uncertainty around treatment decisions,” said Dr. Luigi Bassani. “One of the most important parts of care is helping families fully understand what’s happening and what their options are.”
Research has also continued to highlight the importance of pediatric-focused neurosurgical expertise and care pathways when treating children with complex neurological and spinal conditions.
Dr. Bassani completed his neurosurgery residency at NYU Langone Health and has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. Neurosurgeons of New Jersey has been awarded #1 in New Jersey and #2 in the nation for Neurological Surgery in 2026 by Castle Connolly and is affiliated with several leading hospitals and medical centers across New Jersey and New York, including NYU Langone Health.
“Families often come in overwhelmed with questions,” Bassani added. “A big part of pediatric neurosurgical care is breaking complex conditions down in a way parents and patients can actually understand and feel comfortable with.”
Dr. Bassani’s impact in the community is strengthened by his insured accessibility: he is in-network with most major commercial health insurance providers, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
