About Me
I’m a neurosurgeon specializing in open and endovascular neurosurgery. I am one of a small number of dual-trained vascular neurosurgeons in the nation. I received my medical degree from the Buffalo School of Medicine in New York, and I completed an internship and residency in neurological surgery at Georgia Regents University. Additionally, I finished a fellowship in open and endovascular neurosurgery at Emory University.
My research interests include the inflammatory and vascular response to subarachnoid hemorrhage, novel therapeutic modalities for complex aneurysms, evaluation of new devices and techniques for the treatment of neurovascular disorders, and the prevention and treatment of vasospasm. In 2019, I served as president of The Ohio State University Neurosurgical Society and was appointed as endovascular/cerebrovascular fellowship director.
I enjoy working in The Ohio State University’s academic setting, where I can participate in resident education, research and clinical care. Everything a patient needs for their treatment and recovery is here, and it is a privilege to collaborate with other providers who value excellence in health care. Together, we provide our patients comprehensive and individualized care.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/21/2019, Dr. Youssef has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
he's awesome!
All good experience.
Dr. Youssef was impatient and unpleasant to deal with. He always seemed rushed and didn't want to answer questions. I am not saying he didn't do a good job on the procedure, but because of how he was in person, I would not recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Youssef was great. Would recommend him to anyone.
Very courteous and gave information I could understand.
He was right there for any concerns you had.
Dr. Youssef took his time reviewing MRI & CT Results and seemed quite confident regarding a full recovery (Dr. Mark/Radiologist) did excellent job reviewing the results.
Very good! Very (good).
Awesome. Loved how he explained everything to us and treated us like family. I felt like I was in good hands.
I had a good experience, and the questions that he couldn't answer her going to send me to a doctor who could possibly answer them. I was very pleased with him!
