Profile

Dr. Everson is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgical oncologist who has expertise in the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors of the brain, spine and skull base. Dr. Everson also specializes in tumor genetic syndromes. He works closely with multidisciplinary teams to individualize patient treatments and coordinates care with the UCLA Brain Tumor Board. Dr. Everson employs the full range of minimally invasive, image-guided, endoscopic, radiosurgery, microsurgical, conventional open and reconstructive techniques to ensure both maximum tumor removal and patient safety. His research focuses on immunotherapy and clinical trials for brain tumors including dendritic cell vaccines, adoptive cell transfer, oncolytic viral therapy and window-of-opportunity trials. As the Director of the UCLA Brain Tumor Fellowship he is integral to the training of future neurosurgical oncologists.
