Aaron S. Dumont, MD

About Dr. Dumont

I serve as the Director of The Tulane Center for Clinical Neurosciences and as the Charles B. Wilson Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Tulane University School of Medicine. I am board certified in both neurosurgery and neurocritical care.

I completed my residency at the University of Virginia, followed by a fellowship in cerebrovascular, skull base, and endovascular neurosurgery, also at UVA. My clinical interests span all areas of pediatric and adult neurosurgery, including spine disorders, movement disorders, epilepsy, stroke and cerebrovascular disease, peripheral nerve disease, radiosurgery, and tumors of the brain and spine. I am dually trained in open traditional microsurgery and minimally invasive endovascular techniques for treating vascular disorders of the brain and spine.

In addition to my clinical work, I remain active in neurosurgical research. I have published more than 200 papers and delivered over 175 presentations at national and international meetings. I also serve on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Neurosurgery—the leading scientific journal in the field—along with several other academic journals.
