Ignacio Jusue-Torres, M.D.

I’m a board-eligible neurosurgeon with training in neurosurgical oncology and neurotrauma/neurocritical care who is thrilled to join the exceptional Mayo Clinic Health System. Driven by a passion for providing the highest quality care to my patients, I am deeply committed to staying abreast with the latest advancements in neurosurgery.

As a family man who understands the importance of family values, I believe that having a strong family support system is essential for a patient’s recovery and well-being. I invest the time to truly understand my patients and their families, and I work closely with them to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs.

My commitment to providing compassionate care to my patients is unwavering, and I understand that a neurosurgical procedure can be a stressful experience. This contributes to why I am dedicated to ensuring that each patient feels as comfortable as possible, and I take pride in my warm bedside manner and ability to put patients at ease.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am also an avid sports fan that enjoys hiking and running.
