“A program is more than individual care services. A program coordinates and augments those services. The program Riverside has created in the neurosciences adds great value to patient care but also adds cost and effort that is not reimbursed. And that’s where philanthropy can make a difference." -James Lesnick, M.D.
Riverside has the largest neurology group on the Peninsula and expansive outpatient services to diagnose and treat patients with brain, spine and nervous system conditions. We are the only system in the area with 24/7 neurosurgical coverage for emergency needs. In 2021, our neurologists and neurosurgeons treated nearly 35,000 patients.
Our neurosurgeons use advanced technologies for diagnostics, monitoring and image guidance, including the Gamma Knife® as an alternative to traditional brain surgery and the Varian Edge™ for tumor tracking and motion management. We are one of only 40 sites in the United States dedicated to stereotactic radiosurgery, a noninvasive treatment for tumors and lesions.
