Our Neuroendovascular Fellows

Pablo Valdes Barrera, M.D.
"The CAST-accredited endovascular neurosurgery fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center represents a defining milestone in my professional journey. I remain deeply grateful for the outstanding mentorship, particularly from Dr. Tarun Bhalla. Through the program’s comprehensive integration of clinical decision-making, patient management, procedural autonomy, meaningful academic research, resident engagement, and exceptional educational value, the fellowship has fundamentally shaped my expertise as an endovascular neurosurgeon."

Gurkirat Kohli, M.D.
"Completion of advanced neuroendovascular training is essential to practicing as a comprehensive cerebrovascular surgeon. The Neuroendovascular Fellowship at URMC offers a high-volume, intellectually rigorous experience across the full spectrum of ischemic, hemorrhagic, venous, and CSF disorders. The skills and judgment developed during this fellowship will enable me to integrate open microsurgical, endovascular, and hybrid approaches and to consistently select the treatment strategy that best aligns with each patient’s pathology, comorbidities, and long-term goals."
