Scott Rahimi

Scott Rahimi serves as Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, with key leadership roles including Director of Endovascular and Cerebrovascular Services and Co-Director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center (2018-2020). His clinical and academic work centers on advanced cerebrovascular interventions and stroke management.

His educational background includes an MD in Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia (2002) and a BS in Biochemistry from the University of Georgia (1997), with certification by the Georgia Composite Medical Board (2004).

Dr. Rahimi's research focuses on endovascular neurosurgery and cerebrovascular pathologies, with emphasis on stroke treatment innovations, arteriovenous malformation management, and neurosurgical oncology complications. His work bridges interventional techniques with radiosurgical approaches for complex vascular conditions.

Recent publications reveal a strong trend toward integrating endovascular embolization with stereotactic radiosurgery for hemorrhagic AVMs and developing novel approaches for venous sinus thrombosis in hematologic malignancies, while maintaining historical perspective on neurosurgical stroke management evolution.

Administratively, he chaired the Comprehensive Stroke Center (2018-2020) and served on the Stroke Committee (2017-2018), while providing university service as faculty advisor for an AU fraternity. His teaching portfolio includes neurosurgery clerkships, externships, and sub-internships.
