About Dr. Doron

Dr. Doron is dual-trained in both open microsurgical and endovascular approaches — a rare combination that lets him select the optimal treatment for each patient with a stroke, aneurysm, or vascular malformation. He completed his cerebrovascular fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard, where he performed over 2,500 endovascular neurosurgeries. His PhD research in biomedical engineering led him to invent a cardiac-gated balloon pump device to augment cerebral blood flow after brain injury, published in the Journal of Neurosurgery (2020) — a device that spawned a neurotech startup. At UChicago, he is building out the regional thrombectomy network so stroke patients across the South Side and suburbs can receive life-saving clot retrieval treatment rapidly.
