About Dr. Aronyk
He’s best known as a visionary responsible for bringing some of the most advanced technology in the world to the University of Alberta Hospital, a neuro (brain and spinal) surgeon who has cared for thousands of patients of all ages through his career, and a dedicated volunteer who somehow finds the time to commit hundreds of hours to enrich our community. Dr. Keith Aronyk continues to be known for his most signature of traits – compassion for his patients, and selfless acts of kindness, integrity and inspiration to all who know and work with him.
“Keith is one-of-a-kind. You’d have to look long and hard to find another doctor like him.” A driving force behind the University Hospital Foundation’s Brain Centre Campaign, Dr. Aronyk played leading role in creating one of Canada’s most advanced surgical suites with the Dan & Bunny Widney Intraoperative 3T MRI Surgical Suite, and in bringing Gamma Knife, the most sophisticated form of non-invasive brain surgery, to Edmonton.
