Hrayr K. Shahinian, M.D. Medical Director is regarded as a pioneer in the field of medicine for his revolutionary use of minimally invasive endoscopy in performing skull base surgery. Dr Shahinian leads a world-class team of specialists at the Skull Base Institute in Los Angeles, is breaking new ground by treating his patients using micro-instruments to access the problem areas. By utilizing this revolutionary technology, along with fiber optic, high-definition video that enables him to have a panoramic view of the interior anatomy of the skull, he skillfully removes tumors and repairs vascular problems while, at the same time, dramatically reducing operating and recovery times.
It's definitely not time to say Good bye. It's hello from me. I have not communicated to you before, but I am confident God will hold you in his loving arms and take care of you.
