Mohamed Samy Elhammady, M.D. specializes in the field of cerebrovascular and skull base surgery. He is an Instructor of Clinical Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Dr. Elhammady earned his medical degree with highest honors from the University of Mansoura in Egypt. He began his neurosurgical training at the University of Mansoura and then moved to the United States where he completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine/Jackson Memorial Hospital. He completed two fellowships at the University of Miami; the first in neuroendovascular surgery and the second in open cerebrovascular and skull base surgery. 

He specializes in the treatment of all aspects of cerebrovascular disease, including coiling and clipping of aneurysms, embolization and resection of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and stenting and endarterectomy for carotid stenosis. He also specializes in the treatment of all aspects of brain and skull base tumors, including endovascular tumor embolization, minimally invasive endoscopic skull base approaches for pituitary tumors, resection of benign skull base tumors (such as meningiomas, schwannomas, acoustic neuromas and others) and malignant skull base tumors (such as carcinomas and others), as well as surgery for gliomas and brain metastases. His bibliography includes more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles, book chapters, and reviews. Dr. Elhammady runs an endovascular laboratory together with Dr. Sultan where they are involved in researching novel methods for the treatment of aneurysms and AVMs as well as the embolization and endovascular administration of chemotherapy for tumors. He is in the process of starting a microsurgical anatomical dissection and vascular laboratory for education, training, and research in anatomy of the brain, skull base approaches, and microvascular techniques.
