After a Referral is Made

We will call your patient for pre-registration and discuss what he or she can expect at the first visit. An orientation packet will be sent to your patient prior to the appointment with pertinent information about their visit, and logistical information, such as location, directions, and parking. We will provide a copy of any written notes on your patient’s gamma knife procedure. Depending upon the condition being treated, the effects of gamma knife surgery may occur over a period of time. The faculty and staff of the Gamma Knife Center will work with you in monitoring the effectiveness of the therapy and encourage your participation in every phase of your patient's care.
