Brain Tumor Center
About us
The Staten Island Brain Tumor Center offers comprehensive care for brain and spinal cord tumors in adults and children. Our experts use state-of-the-art surgical and nonsurgical techniques such as Gamma Knife to treat tumors. And our evidence-based care is focused not just on the tumor—but the patient as a whole person, as well as the crucial role of family in their care.
Our center has established an excellent reputation as a national and international leader in the treatment of brain tumors, spinal cord tumors and skull base tumors.

Research & clinical trials
Research plays a major role in the growth and process of treatments we offer. Our research and clinical trials for brain aneurysms, stroke and interventional neuro-oncology have propelled the area of neurological medicine forward.
Working with investigators at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, the research arm of Northwell Health, our team has published and presented several studies on brain tumors, treatment outcomes and more.
