About Us


Dr. Peter D. Costantino and Dr. Chandranath Sen

Our multi-disciplinary surgical team combines state-of-the-art technologies with the expertise of neurosurgery, head and neck surgery, neuro-otology, neuro-anesthesiology and plastic surgery. We unite specialists in radiation therapy, medical oncology, interventional radiology, and minimally invasive cranial base surgery.

Other supporting disciplines include neuro-radiology, physical rehabilitation, and intensive care. Specially trained nurses, and speech and swallowing therapists provide vital assistance.

Our team approach allows safe access to and removal of tumors at the base of the brain, without neurological impairment. Our specialists restore patients to their pre-surgical appearance and function.
