San Diego Gamma Knife Center was opened as a Center of Excellence in October 1994. The Center treats patients with brain tumors, AVMs, acoustic neuromas, essential tremors, trigeminal neuralgia and many other brain disorders. Our patients come from Southern California, all over the United States, and internationally.

The Center is a shared resource for the San Diego neurosurgical and radiation oncology community. It is available to all qualified neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists in Southern California. The Gamma Knife program replaced a linear accelerator based radiosurgical program which began in 1991. This unit is an integral part of the neurosciences services of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, which provides diagnosis, treatment and support of a full range of neurological disorders.

San Diego Gamma Knife Center is located on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital at the Genesee Avenue exit off Interstate 5 in La Jolla, California about 12 miles north of downtown San Diego. The Center is in a beautiful setting adjacent to the University of California San Diego campus, about two miles east of the ocean.
