For those who are able to get to NYC, I have been treated with Gamma Knife at NYU Langone by Dr. John Golfinos and Dr. Stephen Rush. My original consult was with Dr. Thomas Roland, who was recommended by my ENT on Long Island. I highly recommend these wonderful doctors--not only for their exceptional skills, but for their humanity. All of us with this diagnosis are anxious, frightened by what the future holds and overwhelmed by treatment decisions. Dr. Roland and Dr. Golfinos are highly experienced AN surgeons, who really care about their patients and make themselves readily available to answer any questions, at any time. They respond to emails quickly which is a godsend when you are tortured with decision making and endless questions. Dr. Golfinos is not only a gifted surgeon, but he als performs Gamma Knife, and he will give you a well balanced evaluation of treatments suitable for you. If you are considering treatment in the NY area, you would be well served to consult with this team.
