Dr. Wenya Linda Bi is the Myers Family Endowed Chair in Skull Base Tumors and Cancer at Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School. She serves as the chief of the Tumor Division for MGB Neurosurgery, the Neurosurgical Oncology Program Director, and the Director of the Skull Base and Microneurosurgery Fellowship.
Her clinical expertise is in skull base and complex brain tumor surgery. She sees patients with a variety of diagnoses, including meningiomas, schwannomas, craniopharyngiomas, gliomas, pituitary adenomas, brain metastases, epidermoid cysts, and trigeminal neuralgia. She has been honored as a national Top Doctor for multiple consecutive years and has received the Brigham Distinguished Clinician award.
Dr. Bi's work is guided by three commitments: to deliver consistently superior surgical outcomes, to tackle tumors for which surgery alone cannot cure with research innovation, and to make knowledge universally accessible.

I was absolutely beyond impressed with every aspect of my visit. From my initial contact with the administrative assistant, [redacted], to Dr. [redacted], and ultimately Dr. Bi, the entire experience was exceptional. [redacted] Dr. Bi exceeded my expectations in every way - her professionalism, knowledge, interpersonal skills, compassion, and overall demeanor were remarkable. Given the anxiety I had surrounding my diagnosis, she answered my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, and was more than willing to repeat or clarify things when I didn't understand them the first time. She never showed frustration or made me feel rushed. I truly feel fortunate to have been referred to her and to have had her overseeing my care. The entire team was top notch, and I feel extremely confident having them in charge of my case. It's hard to put into words how much their empathy, knowledge, professionalism, and overall approach matter when you're in crisis. They made an awful situation not only tolerable, but also gave me a realistic understanding of my options, timeline, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
