In the premiere episode of "Curing with Sound," we spotlight Dr. Neal Kassell, the Founder and Chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. Despite being blind in one eye and not completing his undergraduate degree, Dr. Kassell's unwavering commitment to making a significant impact on the world propelled him to become a leading neurosurgeon and a pioneer for focused ultrasound therapy.


From a young age, Dr. Kassell was drawn to neurosurgery, gaining experience in a research lab at the age of 16 and later performing life-saving surgeries that would impact the lives of prominent figures and everyday individuals alike. His quest for better treatment options led him to focused ultrasound, a revolutionary noninvasive technology with the potential to transform treatment for a wide range of medical disorders, from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to cancer.

Dr. Kassell is now spearheading the global adoption of this cutting-edge therapy through the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, which he established in 2006, with the mission of redefining patient care and improving millions of lives worldwide. His dedication to advancing medical innovation is not just about a breakthrough technology; it's about the power of determination and the passion to help others, even in the face of personal challenges.
