How To Receive Care

The physicians at the Johns Hopkins Gamma Knife Treatment Center are available to consult with referring physicians from around the globe. To receive our informational packet, including a complimentary copy of our Gamma Knife Video, please complete the registration form.

Our physicians welcome your calls. Together, we can review your patient's medical history, discuss your patient's needs and determine the best course of action. Johns Hopkins will collaborate with you in the treatment of your patients. Medical records and treatment summaries will be forwarded to your office in a timely fashion to ensure a smooth and successfully return to your care. Additionally, the treating physicians at Johns Hopkins will make themselves available to discuss with you by phone the details of your patient's case and history.

Physicians may refer patients directly by calling +1-410-614-2886. Our referral coordinator will answer your questions, collect the necessary information required for the referral process, and schedule an appointment.

Patient Information Needed at the Time of Referral

• Patient name
• Diagnosis
• Details of diagnosis (physical exam, biopsy, x-rays, etc.)
• Specific information about any treatment the patient has received
• Patient's telephone number
• Patient's insurance information, including any necessary HMO authorization

After a Referral is Made

We will call your patient for pre-registration and discuss what he or she can expect at the first visit. An orientation packet will be sent to your patient prior to the appointment with pertinent information about their visit, and logistical information, such as location, directions, and parking. We will contact you and provide a copy of any written notes on your patient's procedure. Patients will be directed back to the referring physician for follow-up care. Depending upon the condition being treated, the effects of treatment may occur over a period of time. The faculty and staff of the center will work with you in monitoring the effectiveness of the therapy and encourage your participation in every phase of your patient's care.
