What We Treat

Our surgeons care for adults and children who have skull base tumors and related disorders. They also treat head and neck disorders, including benign and malignant tumors. Our surgical team is exceptionally experienced in both endoscopic skull based surgery, and in complex open approaches to the cranial base, choosing the optimal treatment for each patient. We employ and participate in developing new methods for these tumors like our minimally invasive surgical techniques, which includes the use of endoscopes. Every effort is made to preserve nerves and blood vessels.
