Advancements in
Neurosciences Leading Edge Medicine and Traditional Practices are
a Powerful Combination for Healing
THE RE3 INNOVATIVE NEUROSCIENCE
INSTITUTE was created to combine some of
medicine’s highest technical achievements
with age-old practices to promote natural
healing.The Institute’s physicians believe the best results
can be achieved when highly advanced neurological
and neurosurgical care is combined with additional
approaches often overlooked in conventional medicine.
These other modalities aid patients’ recovery and quality
of life and can effectively manage many conditions
without resorting to medications or surgeries.
“We bring technology combined with a lot of skillsets
and have a practice that is a hybrid between conventional
medicine and some more traditional ways of healing, such
as diet, yoga and acupuncture,” said Dr. Arash Farahvar,

who is a neurosurgeon. “Patients’ ability to recover, even from
bad things like brain tumors and traumatic brain injuries, is
impressive, and we help them with mind, body and spiritual
methods in combination with high-tech medical practices.”
Farahvar and his colleagues, Dr. William Olivero, Dr. John
Wang and Dr. Bonnie Wang, founded Re3 Innovative
Neuroscience Institute to help address issues in medicine
today that are troubling to many patients who would prefer to
consider alternatives, if possible, to surgeries and medications.
“All of us trained at the University of Illinois and have
academic backgrounds. We’ve practiced together for many
years, and we know each other very well. We also know
each other’s patients very well,” Farahvar said. “We want to
operate with principles and integrity, but also to do something
different that will change medicine.”
