BRAIN, NECK, & NEUROSURGERY

World-Class Brain
Surgery Close to Home

Few diagnoses feel heavier than one involving your brain. Dr. Chan meets that moment with advanced surgical expertise, honest guidance, and a treatment plan built around you.

CONDITIONS & SYMPTOMS

Navigating your
brain & cranial condition

No two brain conditions are alike, and neither are the paths to treating them. Some tumors need surgery; others only careful monitoring. Some conditions respond to minimally invasive procedures; others call for a coordinated, long-term plan.

Brain Tumors

Expert evaluation and surgical treatment for gliomas, metastatic tumors, and other brain masses — using image-guided, precision techniques.

Meningioma

The most common primary brain tumor — often benign and treatable. Learn when meningiomas need surgery and when monitoring is enough.

Pituitary Tumors

Tumors affecting hormones, vision, and headaches — often removable through minimally invasive approaches with no visible incision.

Brain Aneurysms

Diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of aneurysms — including both preventive care and urgent surgical intervention.

Arteriovenous Malformations

Abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain that can cause headaches, seizures, or bleeding — treated with advanced surgical techniques.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Severe, electric-shock facial pain caused by nerve compression — highly treatable with microvascular decompression and other options.

Hydrocephalus

Fluid buildup that increases pressure on the brain, causing headaches, balance issues, and cognitive changes — treatable with shunts or minimally invasive surgery.

Chiari Malformation

A structural condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal, causing headaches, dizziness, and numbness — often correctable with surgery.
