the unique expertise, state of the art technologies, and extensive resources
available at Johns Hopkins.
The Johns Hopkins Radiosurgery Group includes
neurosurgery specialists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, medical

committed to the practice of radiosurgery. The Johns Hopkins Radiosurgery
Group believes that this team approach, accessing the full extent of technology
and special expertise available at Johns Hopkins for the benefit of individual
patients, is essential for providing the highest quality radiosurgery
treatment. We are committed to making this treatment easily available
to those who live outside the Baltimore / Washington area by reviewing
records and radiologic studies in advance of scheduling of an actual trip
to Johns Hopkins, prescheduling treatments and procedures to minimize
time spent in Baltimore, and by assisting with travel and accommodation.

The physicians primarily responsible for
the administration of radiosurgery are neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists.
In most situations, the treatment is planned and supervised by a neurosurgeon
and radiation oncologist working together. Dr.
Daniele Rigamonti is a neurosurgeon with particular expertise in radiosurgery for benign
and malignant tumors as well as vascular abnormalities. Dr.
Lawrence Kleinberg and Dr. Ori Shokek are radiation oncologists who specialize in radiosurgery.
