It is with great sadness that we share about the tragic loss of Dr. Mike Groff, 3 members of his family including Dr. Joy Saini his wife who was a NWH UroGyn physician, their daughter Karenna who was an incoming PGY1 neurosurgery resident at NYU, their son Jared and 2 of their friends. 

Mike served as the Division Chief of Neurosurgery Spine at BWH from 2011 until 2024 as well as the Vice Chair of Neurosurgery at BWH. He was an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School. In 2024 he became the Executive Medical Director of Neuroscience Rochester Regional Health, while retaining his HMS position during the transition.

Mike was an internationally recognized thought leader in spinal disorders. He was the doctor’s doctor and led the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation. He was in several leadership position within AANS, including being the Chair of the Spine Section of AANS/CNS. 

Most of all, Mike was a compassionate, highly skilled and charismatic human being and neurosurgeon. He and his family will be sorely missed.   

As we grieve the loss of Mike, Joy, Karenna, Jared and their 2 friends, our hearts go out to their family in this time of profound sadness.

We are delighted to congratulate Dr. Bob Carter in his new role as University of Utah’s Senior Vice President of Health Sciences and CEO of University of Utah Health. His last day at MGB will be February 15th

Dr. Carter became the Chair of the MGH Department of Neurosurgery in 2017, has made a significant impact on our community, and has spearheaded the integration of BWH and MGH to create a joint MGB Department of Neurosurgery. Thank you, Dr. Carter, we wish you all the best.

The MGB Department of Neurosurgery is lucky to have had the guidance of two exceptional leaders, for Dr. Chiocca to continue the advances he has already begun in his first 12 years as the BWH Neurosurgery Chair and to move forward on the successful integration initiatives Dr. Carter has spearheaded. Very excited for what is to come!
