Gamma Knife (GK): This proven painless technology gives our neurosurgeons the ability to treat many disorders of the brain without making an incision or harming healthy tissue. It is now considered the "gold standard of care" for non-invasive treatment of many brain tumors (some previously considered inoperable), vascular malformations and neurological disorders. The GK unit concentrates its 201 tiny beams of radiation on one computer-mapped target in the brain, and is accurate within half the width of a human hair. This single-session outpatient treatment is completed within a half-day, and patients usually return to normal activities within 48 hours.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): This space-age technology offers new help for severe Parkinson's disease sufferers. DBS uses a small surgically implanted medical device, similar to a heart pacemaker, that delivers carefully controlled electrical stimulation to precisely targeted areas of the brain and blocks faulty signals that cause motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's, essential tremor, and dystonia.
