The Gamma Knife Radiation Therapy Center team at The Woodlands Hospital is comprised of expert neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and clinicians dedicated to ensuring high levels of effectiveness and care for cranial disorder patients. Our surgeons perform the state-of-the-art Gamma Knife procedure, which uses targeted radiation to treat brain tumors and other neurological conditions without incisions. This painless technique reduces the risk of damaging surrounding healthy tissue and has lower complication rates compared to open surgery. As the only Gamma Knife facility in the area, we provide innovative and compassionate care to the people of Montgomery County and North Houston.
