The Gamma Knife can also be used to treat a severe facial pain condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, malformed blood vessels, and other functional disorders in critical areas of the brain.

The first of its kind available between Western Los Angeles County and San Francisco, the Gamma Knife allows doctors to deliver life-saving radiation to areas of the brain that could not otherwise be operated on.

Without making a single cut, the Gamma Knife can treat functional disorders in the brain that doctors once would have considered inaccessible.

The Gamma Knife offers an alternative for patients in situations where traditional brain surgery is not an option. In many cases, it is impossible to surgically treat tumors that are deep-seated or situated close to sensitive parts of the brain.

When that happens, the Gamma Knife is the best possible treatment for the patient. A department of Los Robles Hospital, the Gamma Knife Center has a multidisciplinary team of board certified neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and physicists led by neurosurgeons Ron Young, M.D. and Skip Jacques, M.D., recognized experts in the field of neurosurgical stereotactic radiosurgery, who have performed over 1,000 Gamma Knife procedures.
