An internationally renowned physician and researcher, Dr. Michael West is responsible for establishing a world-class neurosurgery program at Manitoba’s Health Sciences Centre. He was the first to introduce gamma knife surgery in Canada, a procedure used to treat conditions, such as brain tumours, that once required more invasive procedures. This technology lets patients recover faster, experience less pain and have fewer post-surgical complications. West is now working with CancerCare Manitoba to develop an extracranial stereotactic body radiation therapy program.
