Endovascular Fellowship
Our CAST-Accredited fellowship in Buffalo is known world-wide as one of the premier endovascular neurosurgery fellowships, led by Fellowship Director Dr. Adnan Siddiqui and Chairman Dr. Elad Levy, and with significant clinical and academic contributions from Drs. Kenneth Snyder, Jason Davies, and Rosalind Lai.
The UBNS fellowship distinguishes itself through a remarkable case volume of 2000 endovascular procedures annually. Fellows are fully immersed in the latest endovascular techniques and patient care at Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and through involvement with research at the Canon Stroke and Vascular Research Center and at Jacobs Institute, leading centers for technological innovations. This unique blend of hands-on experience, exposure to the state-of-the-art technology, and active participation in major clinical trials and translational research, position our fellows for success, as evident in the program’s legacy of producing leaders who have made significant contributions to the field, both within the US and internationally.

Endovascular Fellowship Program
Spine Fellowship
Our spine fellowship, headed by John Pollina, MD, encompasses a broad spectrum of complex spine cases including minimally invasive spine and robotic techniques, as well as spinal deformity under Jeffrey Mullin, MD.
Dr. Pollina is one of the leading experts nationally in robotic spine and this combination, along with Dr. Mullin’s spinal deformity expertise, provides a well-balanced sub-specialization and robust clinical volume. This fellowship focuses on the latest advancements in both open and minimally invasive techniques and fellows will hopefully continue down the path of future advancements in spine surgery being developed right here in Buffalo.
