Title: Which Facility is better? UPMC, Pittsburg, or PENN Gamma Knife
Post by: Buckeye_Girl on November 14, 2011, 08:01:17 am

I live in the Cleveland area and have heard that there's a facility in Penn that has a great reputation for gamma knife. Looks like there are many facilities in Penn with gamma knife, which one is better? Thanks!

Hi Buckeye_Girl .....

UPMC is in Pittsburgh and has an excellent reputation.  Do not know about PENN.

Hi BuckEye Girl,
I went to UPMC in Pittburgh, had my Gamma Knife there by Dr. Douglas Kondziolka. Had a wonderful experience there and would be willing to chat if you'd like. :)
