Brain surgery is performed to treat conditions affecting the brain and
nearby structures. At Winchester Medical Center, our neurosurgeons combine
advanced skill with state-of-the-art technology to provide safe, effective
care. From diagnosis through rehabilitation, we guide you every step of the way.
Conditions We Treat

Parkinson’s disease

Brain Tumor Surgery
We provide precise, compassionate treatment for primary and metastatic
brain tumors, including gliomas, glioblastoma, meningiomas, metastatic
tumors, and pituitary tumors. Using intraoperative brain mapping, we remove
tumors as safely as possible. For tumors in critical areas, we may perform
an awake craniotomy, allowing us to treat conditions once considered inoperable.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
SRS is a non-invasive treatment that delivers highly targeted radiation
to small tumors, sparing healthy brain tissue. Winchester Medical Center
offers this advanced therapy in partnership with the University of Virginia
Health System.
Benefits of SRS
Minimally invasive alternative to surgery
Precise targeting for better outcomes
Local access to care that previously required travel
How It Works: A radiation oncologist and neurosurgeon oversee treatment in our Radiation
Therapy Department. Patients wear a custom-fitted mask or frame to keep
the head still during therapy. Four-dimensional CT imaging helps our team
plan treatment with accuracy. A robotic couch positions the patient so
high-energy beams can reach the tumor from multiple angles.
Our collaboration with UVA Health System ensures patients receive nationally
recognized expertise close to home.
