Beebe Healthcare warmly welcomes Dr. Punit Pandya, DO, to its Neurosciences program.

The expansion is a result of Beebe’s commitment to bringing advanced neurological care closer to Sussex County residents.
Key Background :
Beebe Healthcare has been a mainstay of medical treatment in Sussex County, Delaware, for more than a century. As the population in the county has increased and the sophistication of medical cases has grown, access to specialized neurological care has become ever more critical. Previously, numerous patients have had to go long distances to receive advanced spine and brain treatments, leaving gaps in local healthcare provision.
This addition of Beebe’s Neurosciences program is designed to bridge those gaps. With the addition of Dr. Pandya, the health center is becoming increasingly well positioned to be able to offer a greater level of neurosurgical knowledge. He received a fellowship in spinal surgery from Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, upon the completion of his neurosurgery residency at Riverside Methodist Hospital and OhioHealth’s Grant Medical Center. He is well-armed with his training and experience to handle any amount of spinal ailments with newer, less invasive methods.
Dr. Pandya will first become an expert in cervical and lumbar spine surgeries at Beebe. Procedures treat neck, upper back, and lower back instability and compress nerves. Minimally invasive techniques will provide quicker recovery rates and less risk from surgery, allowing for sophisticated care to be accessible to community patients.
In the coming years, his practice will also cover 2026 brain surgeries. This will include such life-sustaining surgeries as craniotomies, emergency decompression, cerebrospinal fluid shunting, and intracranial pressure management. For Sussex County patients, this equates to fewer out-of-city or state hospital transports for acute neurosurgery.
Beebe Healthcare’s affiliation with Jefferson Health is a blueprint for sustainable specialty care. The affiliation is one of the aspects of Beebe’s dedication to serving the community’s needs through high-quality, innovative services. To have level-neurosurgeon services as part of its local healthcare network available is what makes Beebe an even more reliable healthcare provider that has patients taken care of near home.
With this addition, Beebe Healthcare is not merely meeting the present demand, but positioning the region for the future. With Dr. Pandya on board, Sussex County residents can expect holistic neuro care delivered with excellence, compassion, and creativity.
