Who is an appropriate candidate for Gamma Knife?
Our treatment team reviews many factors to determine whether Gamma Knife is the best approach. In many cases, our team evaluates the patient’s medical history, existing films and laboratory tests before seeing the patient in order to determine whether a physical consultation is necessary. For more information, click here. Consultations include spending time with either Dr. John Demakas or Dr. Alex MacKay, or for acoustic neuromas, Dr. Neil Giddings. In addition, Dr. Robert Fairbanks, our chief radiation oncologist, or Dr. Lamoreaux will evaluate your entire radiation history and prescribe the appropriate dose for your condition.
