Highly Focused radiation therapy for the treatment of complex, difficult brain conditions

  • Unparalleled Precision and Accuracy

  • Single Session, Outpatient Procedure

Gamma Knife a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery treatment. Depending on the patient’s diagnosis, it is used in place of, or in addition to, traditional surgery. Gamma Knife radiosurgery replaces the surgeon’s scalpel with multiple narrow beams of low dose radiation focused to a specific target area of the brain. No incisions are involved. Patients are typically in and out of the hospital in a day’s time.

Using the latest Gamma Knife technology, Dr. Richard Polin, together with a team of top Neurologists, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists, offers outstanding treatment alternatives for patients with brain tumors, vascular malformations, trigeminal neuralgia, and other neurological disorders. Fellowship trained in Stereotactic Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, with over two decades of clinical application, Dr. Polin is a leading expert in this field.

Multiple beams deliver the exact prescribed dose with extreme precision to the target area while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
