Reza J. Karimi, MD, FAANS, FAC
Dr. Karimi is one of only a few neurosurgeons in the country with advanced fellowship training in open microvascular neurosurgery and endovascular neurosurgery. This subspecialized training enables him to successfully perform some of the most highly complex and intricate surgical procedures, including using the latest techniques to treat brain aneurysms, vascular tumors, stroke, and vascular malformations of the brain and spine.
A lifelong New Jersey resident, Dr. Karimi has a single goal when treating patients: Avoid surgery whenever possible, and if surgery is necessary, provide the safest, most effective approach. To ensure he meets that goal, he views patients like family and he treats them like family, never recommending treatment that he would not recommend to his own relatives.

It is reassuring to hear the reports of Damar Hamlin being neurologically intact following his cardiac arrest, however it is somewhat early in his treatment phase and sometimes neurologic deficits may not show up until a person is more awake and off the breathing machine, in order to have a more detailed assessment of neurological function.
