About

Dr. McKalip is a Board Certified Neurological Surgeon.

The Brain and Spine Care Clinic

We are a private practice in Cartersville, Georgia offering specialized medical care for patients with neurologic, spinal and brain conditions.

Dr. David McKalip is a Board-Certified Neurosurgeon and is expanding access to neurological care in the region. Dr. McKalip retired from doing surgery in 2026, but is still actively providing neurologic and spinal care in the hospital and in the community.

Currently most patients are waiting up to 12 months to see a neurologist in the area. 

This means that patients who have been looking for a neurologist can start at The Brain and Spine Care Clinic for the neurological care they need.  When more advanced neurological care is needed, Dr. McKalip has relationships to get you to that level of care more quickly.

Dr. McKalip will see patients usually within a month to evaluate their neurological issues and help them start achieving better health!
