Leading Neurosurgical Care In North TX
Dr. Nicholas Ferraro Patient-Focused Care And Expertise
For Dr. Nicholas Ferraro, neurosurgery has never been just a career—it has been a calling since the third grade. After a school book report on the human brain, he knew he wanted to become a brain surgeon, and by high school he was already shadowing neurosurgeons to learn the craft firsthand. That early spark led to an extraordinary academic and professional journey, including graduating cum laude from the Honors College at Baylor University, earning membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society at UT Medical School in Houston, and training at the world-renowned Jackson Memorial Hospital and University of Miami.
During his residency, Dr. Ferraro developed special interests in brain tumors, spinal column and spinal cord tumors, complex revision spine surgery, and motion-preserving spine procedures. After returning to Texas, he spent five years as Director of Neurological Surgery at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center at Grapevine, where he built the neurosurgery program before launching his own practice in 2024.
At Ferraro Brain and Spine, patients receive more than surgical expertise. They experience a level of personal attention that sets Dr. Ferraro apart. Unlike many surgeons, he spends significant time with every patient, ensuring they fully understand their condition, options, and treatment plan.
His approach blends cutting-edge surgical technology with a patient-first philosophy, emphasizing conservative and non-surgical treatments whenever possible. Dr. Ferraro performs procedures at leading hospitals and surgery centers in Frisco, Plano, and McKinney, using both minimally invasive and traditional techniques depending on each patient’s needs.
He is personally involved through every stage of care— from evaluation to treatment to post-operative recovery—building trust and confidence every step of the way. Outside of medicine, Dr. Ferraro is a proud Frisco resident, an avid golfer, and a Texas Rangers fan. His commitment to excellence in the operating room is matched only by his dedication to faith, family, and community. For patients seeking world-class neurosurgical care in North Texas, Ferraro Brain and Spine delivers innovation, compassion and results.
"I am grateful and honored that you have chosen me as your neurosurgeon." — Nicholas C. Ferraro, MD, FAANS
