About
Dr V — Anand Venkatraman, MD
I'm an interventional neurologist with over 2,000 neuroendovascular procedures performed. I specialize in treating conditions of the brain's blood vessels through minimally invasive procedures — using thin catheters guided through your blood vessels instead of open surgery.

A Lifelong Pursuit of Excellence — Now Focused on You
I've been held to the highest standards at every stage of my career. As a teenager, I was a Gold Medalist at the International Biology Olympiad. I graduated from India's most competitive medical school — part of a class of just 50, chosen from over 70,000 applicants. I've trained at multiple leading academic institutions across the United States, including the highly-selective neurocritical care fellowship at Harvard Medical School. The United States government granted me permanent residency under the category for “individuals with extraordinary ability”, awarded to fewer than 1% of applicants. I've published 43 peer-reviewed research papers cited nearly 2,000 times, and my work has been covered by the LA Times, Reuters, CBS and other major outlets.
Today, that lifelong pursuit of excellence is focused entirely on one thing: exceptional patient care. Every procedure I do, every decision I make, is measured against that standard.
