Edison Valle, MD, FAANS

Dr. Edison Valle Giler treats neurosurgical disorders of the brain and spine, and he is one of the few dual trained endovascular and open vascular neurosurgeons in the country (can treat neurovascular problems with both catheter-based and open-conventional surgery).

He graduated as the top medical student of his class at Universidad Católica de Guayaquil in Ecuador and later was awarded best graduate among all medical schools. Dr. Valle continued his training in New Orleans, at Tulane University/Ochsner Clinic, where he focused on minimally invasive and complex spine surgery. He also completed a fellowship in endovascular and open vascular neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, one of the busiest neurovascular centers in the country.

Before coming to Naples, Dr. Valle was assistant professor at the Tulane/Ochsner neurosurgery program in New Orleans, where he taught residents in neurosurgery. Along with world leaders in the field, he has been part of multiple studies and trials in the treatment of aneurysms and spine disorders. Dr. Valle serves as an expert consultant for several medical device companies, including Arthrex, where he is a part of the core faculty that launched their spine division, and is involved in several studies aiming to further spine care. He regularly teaches other surgeons around the country on endoscopic spine surgery, an ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery.

Dr. Valle’s philosophy includes utilizing conservative and regenerative treatments before engaging into surgery. When possible, he prefers to treat patients with the least invasive techniques in order to reduce recovery time and get them back to enjoying life. Dr. Valle uses cutting-edge, state-of-the-art treatments for brain aneurysms, stroke, tumors (minimally invasive craniotomy, radiosurgery), degenerative spine disease (minimally invasive surgery and deformity correction), pain modulation (spinal cord stimulation), peripheral nerve pathology (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, peripheral nerve tumors), trigeminal neuralgia, face pain, and headaches.

Dr. Valle enjoys playing soccer, tennis, bike riding, and spending time with his children, wife, and family. Dr. Valle has volunteered on multiple mission trips to developing countries and donates to local missions and charities. He sponsors local sports activities and helps coach his children’s soccer teams.
