As featured in MD News

The advanced technology and knowledge team at the controls bring curative treatment not only to patients with malignant tumors but also to those with benign conditions or intractable pain.

Since 2002, The Long Island Gamma Knife Center has treated more than 1,000 patients for a broad spectrum of conditions. Well-known for its non-invasive ability to treat multiple metastatic brain tumors without exposing a patient to whole-brain radiation, the Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is a valuable modality for treating malignant brain tumors. Physicians also use the Gamma Knife to treat a broad range of benign conditions that can disable and / or incapacitate patients.
