About
Dr. Babacar treats a wide range of brain and nerve conditions, with a particular focus on brain tumours in adults and children, including gliomas, metastatic tumours, acoustic neuromas, and pituitary tumours. He also treats spine tumours, trigeminal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm. Where a tumour sits near areas that control speech and movement, he uses awake craniotomy with language and motor mapping to protect those functions during surgery. He earned an MD and PhD at Columbia University and trained in neurosurgery at New York-Presbyterian and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
