SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND EXPERTISE
Our Board Certified surgeons take a thoughtful and conservative approach to surgery, performing surgery only when warranted and when the benefits to the patient’s quality of life outweigh the risks. Our surgical expertise includes minimally invasive spine surgery procedures that take advantage of cutting-edge technology to minimize injury to surrounding tissues.

STATE OF THE ART ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
Innovative techniques are also employed by Sierra Neurosurgery Group surgeons in the treatment of spine and brain tumors often eliminating the need for open surgery. Stereotactic radiosurgery (one form of which is CyberKnife) uses lasers to target radiation right to the tumor site with pinpoint accuracy sparing all healthy tissue and causing the patient little to no discomfort.
CyberKnife
The CyberKnife System is the only fully robotic radiation delivery system. It treats cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other targets, precisely delivering radiation anywhere in the body.
