UCLA Brain Tumor Center: Meet Our Team

When it comes to treating brain tumors, our team of physicians represents the best in the country, if not the world. From diagnosis and imaging to chemotherapy (neuro oncology) and neurosurgery, each member of our team is solely focused on caring for patients with brain tumors. This approach helps us provide the best possible care and treatments to more than 800 patients a year.

Part of what makes our program so successful is that our brain tumor doctors are always conferring. In fact, we are one of the few fully integrated brain tumor programs in the country. Working together as a group and not as individual departments allows us to deliver care more efficiently and effectively:

As a new patient, you (or your referring physician) do not need to determine which of our specialists to see. Dedicated brain tumor nurse and patient navigators anticipate your needs, coordinate specialist care and provide a seamless care experience.
When you receive treatment, you can have peace of mind knowing your treatment plan is informed by some of the country’s foremost brain tumor experts.
If the tumor comes back, we are able to offer alternate or more aggressive therapies without delay. Our experience working together helps us make important decisions quickly, which helps you receive treatments faster.
