Steven D. Chang, MD is the Robert C. and Jeannette Powell Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also the Director of the Stanford Cyberknife Program, the Stanford Neuromolecular Innovations Program, and the Stanford Neurogenetics Program. He is a world renown expert in tumor and cerebrovascular neurosurgery and a innovator in open, microscopic, endoscopic, and radiosurgical approaches to lesions of the brain and skull base. He is also a leader in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, with a large practice and clinical research effort dedicated specifically to patients with the disease and a specific emphasis on open microsurgical and non-invasive radiosurgical treatments.

Allen L. Ho, MD is a graduate of Harvard Medical School where he was a Howard Hughes Medical Research Fellow and is now a neurosurgery resident in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is interested in expanding indications for neuromodulation, and technology-driven minimally-invasive and stereotactic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery. He has won numerous national awards and grants for his research efforts and is specifically focused on how to improve treatment outcomes for patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
