Neurosurgical Consultations and Second Opinions

The BTC offers out-patient consultations for patients with newly diagnosed brain tumors, pituitary tumors, skull base tumors and sinus carcinomas as well as other intracranial conditions including hydrocephalus, CSF leaks, hemorrhage and infections. We also offer second opinions for patients who have received treatment or consultations elsewhere.

To arrange a consultation with Dr. Kelly, Dr. Kassam or one of our other specialists, please call the BTC office (310-582-7450) or e-mail us with an inquiry (braintumor@stjohns.org).  Click here for appointment instructions & new patient questionnaire.

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. Your information can be faxed to our office at 310-582-7495 or mailed to:
