CyberKnife Center of Miami

What CyberKnife Center of Miami does

CyberKnife Center of Miami is a privately held, freestanding outpatient cancer treatment center headquartered at 7867 North Kendall Drive, Miami, Florida, founded in 2003 by Dr. James G. Schwade and operated under an open-staff facility model. It is the first CyberKnife facility in Florida and the Southeastern United States and the 11th in the country. The center delivers image-guided robotic radiosurgery using Accuray's CyberKnife system — a roughly $7 million platform combining a compact linear accelerator with a robotic arm — to treat cancerous and non-cancerous lesions throughout the body (brain, spine, lung, prostate, pancreas, liver, kidney, head and neck, and others) in typically 1-5 outpatient sessions versus weeks of conventional radiation. Service scope spans SRS/SBRT protocols, low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) for osteoarthritis, and management of recurrent or previously irradiated tumors.

The business model is professional fee-for-service radiosurgery billed primarily through major insurance plans, supported by preliminary evaluations, treatment coordination, and referring-physician collaboration. Clinical depth is anchored by Dr. Mark E. Pomper (Medical & Executive Director, ~30 years of practice) and Dr. Schwade, with an affiliated network of 7 radiation oncologists and 17 active surgeons drawn from private practice and South Florida medical centers. Patients are sourced through a physician referral network, a multi-channel content and SEO marketing operation (website, blog, video library, social, news media), and a Spanish-language site serving the Hispanic market. The center actively recruits domestic and international medical tourists (patients have traveled from as far as Egypt and China). A wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Medical Services, operates a Dr. Pomper-patented mobile radiation concept that brings treatment to patients unable to travel. The center claims up to a 98% success rate and reports thousands of patients treated over more than two decades; specific pricing, revenue, and clinical outcome metrics beyond marketing claims are not publicly disclosed.
