Meet Dr. Sherwin Tavakol, a 4th-year OUNS resident who sees neuroanatomy as more than science—it’s a calling to support patients in tough times. He says, “In darkness, the doctor’s role is to provide compassion.” Outside the OR, he enjoys cooking & OKC's food scene. #OUNS

University of Oklahoma Neurosurgery welcomed our visiting professor, Dr. Roberto Heros, from UM Neurosurgery and Jackson Health System. We are so happy to spend some time with Dr. Heros - a giant in neurosurgery. In exchange, Dr. Heros leaves with cowboy boots and a little bit of Oklahoma in his heart.
