Patient Services & Specialists

The BTC provides comprehensive care for patients with brain tumors, pituitary tumors and skull base tumors, as well as related disorders such as pituitary hormonal failure (hypopituitarism) and cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

Our specialists offer a multidisciplinary approach to these disorders. With expertise in minimally invasive transcranial and transsphenoidal surgery, stereotactic radiation treatment, cutting-edge cancer treatments and hormonal therapies, as well as state-of-the art imaging capabilities, we provide individualized care for these complex problems.

To arrange a consultation with Dr. Kelly or one of our other specialists, please call the BTC office (310-582-7450) or e-mail us with an inquiry (braintumor@stjohns.org).

Please provide us with your most recent relevant medical records including diagnostic imaging (e.g., MRI, CT), blood tests and prior consultations. If some tests have not been done, we can help you arrange these as well.
