About Me
As the neurosurgical director of the Cyberknife radiosurgery program, Dr. Simon leads other expert specialists in the care of both cancerous and noncancerous tumors. Using the Cyberknife system, an image-guided robotic surgery system, Dr. Simon provides noninvasive treatment of tumors. This highly accurate and advanced system allows Dr. Simon to destroy tumor cells while leaving the surrounding healthy cells unharmed.
Dr. Simon completed a fellowship in spinal surgery and deformity at Shriners Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. This focused training allows him to provide comprehensive neurological and orthopaedic treatments for scoliosis, spine fractures, and other spinal deformities in both children and adults.
Dr. Simon strives to deliver advanced surgical care to all his patients, helping them overcome illness and injury to lead healthy lives.
