Cranial Clinic and Program

 

"We’ve brought the best minds together to focus on the patient’s needs for the best care." 
Sanford J Wright, MD   
Medical Director, Neurosciences Institute
Neurosurgeon, Everett Neurological Center

The brain is the body’s most complex organ, and cranial tumors require the latest technology and a highly skilled and experienced medical team. The Providence Cranial Clinic and Program offers some of the most advanced care for brain tumors available in Washington, provided by a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team of experts. Seven board certified neurological surgeons coming from some of the most prestigious institutions in the country form the program's leadership team. The newest of this team, Victor Tse, M.D., Ph.D, is double-board certified in neurology and neurosurgery. Dr. Tse joins Greg Foltz, M.D. in seeing patients full-time in Everett and serves as the Neuro-Oncology Medical Director. Together these physicians participate in leading-edge brain tumor research, have authored more than 200 clinical papers, and serve on several neurology and neurosurgery association governing and editorial boards.
