Dr. Adam Hebb

Dr. Hebb is a board certified neurosurgeon, specializing in neuro-oncology and functional neurosurgery, including deep brain stimulation, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia and peripheral nerve surgery. Dr. Hebb completed his medical degree at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada. During medical school, he studied experimental cellular therapies in Parkinson’s disease and received multiple awards, including the American Parkinson's Disease Foundation fellowship for the American Society of Neural Transplantation and Repair conference, and the Georgina Clark Studentship in Neurodegenerative Disorders. Dr. Hebb completed his residency in neurological surgery at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he was awarded the Zhao Zi-Zhen Neurosurgery Resident Award for clinical and operative skill, research excellence, and humanism as a physician and surgeon. Following residency, Dr. Hebb continued his training at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, where he completed fellowship training in neuro-oncology and epilepsy surgery. During this training, an award from the American Epilepsy Foundation, the William Gowers Clinical Research Fellowship, supported Dr. Hebb’s research effort in human neurophysiology. After completion of his neurosurgical education in 2007, Dr. Hebb joined the faculty at the University of Washington, where his clinical practice was specialized in neuro-oncology, functional neurosurgery, trigeminal neuralgia and peripheral nerve surgery. Dr. Hebb led a neurosurgical resident education course for five years, leading classes of neurosurgical residents to success in their academic examinations. Dr. Hebb relocated to Denver to join the Colorado Brain and Spine Institute in 2012 where he continues to lead a specialty neurosurgical practice. Dr. Hebb’s approach offers specialized, coordinated care with a highly trained team providing comprehensive evaluation and treatment focused on each patient’s individual needs. His team offers compassionate and coordinated care from diagnostics and treatment through rehabilitation. Dr. Hebb partners with the Colorado Neurological Institute (CNI), recognized as a Center of Excellence (COE) to provide treatment and research in illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, epilepsy and brain tumors. Dr. Hebb is dual board certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. His research interests include human neurophysiology, including engineering applications to interface with the human brain, potentially leading to augmentation of function for neurodegenerative disease. He is affiliate faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Denver.
