Finding Us: This clinic is located on the Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center campus near 20th Street and Cliff Avenue. Due to on-campus construction and some road and parking lot closures, we recommend you allow extra time to get to your destination. For parking, it’s best to access the free ramps via 20th Street and follow the signs in the skywalk to reach Plaza 2. The surface lot for Plaza 2 is now limited to valet parking for Plaza 2 patients with limited mobility only. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. See the latest map and construction updates.

In our clinic, we also perform pre-surgery consults and handle follow-up care. Depending on the scope of your treatment, you might be hospitalized for close observance in the first steps of recovery.

Neuroendovascular Care

With neuroendovascular care, our highly trained specialists treat challenging neurovascular disorders with minimally invasive techniques through a remote incision that’s less than a quarter of an inch in size. This specialty allows us to support patients experiencing some of the most critical medical emergencies in all of medicine, which previously were untreatable. Neuroendovascular surgery requires advanced operational tools and imaging technology.

Gamma Knife for Brain Tumors

Gamma Knife® is a gold-standard treatment for brain tumors and other brain lesions and conditions. This non-invasive approach involves state-of-the-art technology to perform radiosurgery, allowing physicians to deliver radiation to tumors with high precision without damaging nearby tissue. The Gamma Knife itself is a large device that looks like a CT or MRI machine. This treatment does not require incisions.

Laboratory

Right inside our facility, you have access to a wide range of laboratory services that contribute to accurate diagnoses of medical conditions. Expert specialists conduct safe and reliable lab testing, helping you and your provider get the results you need to start an effective and personalized treatment plan.
