Dr. Srikanth Boddu is a board-certified interventional neuroradiologist (also known as an endovascular surgical neuroradiologist) with advanced training in minimally invasive procedures to treat a wide range of brain and spine conditions. Dr. Boddu is one of the best doctors available for endovascular procedures such as venous stenting for IIH and pulsatile tinnitus, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures, and minimally invasive treatments for cerebrovascular disorders including brain AVMs, aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulae, and CSF leaks. A native of India, trained in the U.K. and the U.S., Dr. Boddu is now seeing patients in Dubai, offering world-class treatment to patients from around the globe.
• Pulsatile Tinnitus: A ringing, whooshing, or pulsing sound in the ears that matches your heartbeat.
• Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH): Also called pseudotumor cerebri, this is a buildup of pressure inside the skull without an obvious cause, often leading to headaches and vision problems.
• Spinal Compression Fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the spine that can cause severe back pain and make movement difficult.
• Brain Aneurysms: Weak spots in blood vessels that bulge out and can rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding in the brain.
• Brain and Spine Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae (AVF): Abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the protective covering of the brain or spine, which can disrupt normal blood flow and cause serious complications.
• Carotid, Vertebral, and Subclavian Stenosis: Narrowing or blockage of major arteries in the neck and upper chest, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and increase the risk of stroke.
• Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Tangled clusters of blood vessels in the brain that can cause headaches, seizures, or bleeding.
• Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak (CSF-Venous Fistula): A leak of the protective fluid around the brain and spine into nearby veins, which can cause headaches, nausea, and other symptoms.
• Chronic Low Back Pain (Basivertebral Nerve Ablation with Intracept): Long-term lower back pain may be treated by “turning off” the nerve responsible for sending pain signals through a minimally invasive procedure called the Intracept method.
Dr. Boddu is renowned for his expertise in treating aneurysms and other complex cerebrovascular (blood vessel-related) conditions. He has been a pioneer in using stents (tiny mesh tubes) to treat pulsatile tinnitus and IIH, offering new hope to patients who need effective treatment without open brain surgery.

Dr. Boddu earned his first medical degree from JSS Medical College in Mysore, India, followed by advanced training in the UK and USA. He completed a surgical residency, radiology residency, and interventional neuroradiology fellowship at Queen’s Medical Center in Nottingham, United Kingdom, and was board certified by both the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh (MRCS) and the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) London. Dr. Boddu was awarded certificate of completion of training (CCT) by General Medical Council (GMC) for completion of highest training in his specialty.
Dr. Boddu then moved to the United States and completed a diagnostic neuroradiology fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, followed by three years of interventional neuroradiology fellowship training at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine. In 2017 Dr. Boddu earned M.D. degree conferral by the New York State Board of Regents.
Today Dr. Boddu is Associate Professor of Radiology in Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York and Director of Neurointervention at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens. He has an international following, with patients coming from around the world for his advanced minimally invasive treatments for:

He has presented his research at several national and international meetings and published his research in multiple peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery, American Journal of Neuroradiology, Clinical Imaging, and PLoS One. (See examples of his publications here.) He has also co-authored book chapters on AVMs, intracranial tumors, and venous intracranial interventions.
"Being a medico from India, I was initially worried to be diagnosed with rare congenital disorder of transverse sinus stenosis and sigmoid sinus diverticulum which produced pulsatile tinnitus and affected my quality of life... [Dr. Boddu] explained patiently and clearly to all my questions in my pre operative visit and also after the procedure was completed. I felt that I came to the right person at the right time for the cure of my ailment. I will strongly recommend him for all neuro intervention procedures." (On HealthGrades)
