ABOUT DR. JAHANGIRI
After completing medical school and his residencies in general surgery and radiology at Khyber Medical College in Pakistan, Dr. Jahangiri chose Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, OH, for his graduate studies. There he focused on biomedical engineering and researched functional electrical stimulation (FES), EEG and skull-base imaging. After earning his D.ABNM in 2003, he was then awarded fellowship of the American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring in 2013.
Areas of expertise include: intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), electroencephalography (EEG), clinical evoked potentials, research onsite/real-time training, electrocorticography, language mapping, cortical and functional mapping, transcranial Doppler (TCD), brachial plexus repairs, hip/acetabular and selective rhizotomy procedures.
Dr. Jahangiri is passionate about education and training and has multiple publications; including a textbook (“Surgical Neurophysiology”) as well as a series of educational supplements and training tools on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring. He is frequently invited to national and international meetings as a guest speaker.
Actively involved in IONM philanthropic efforts, Dr. Jahangiri participates in charitable surgeries and programs around the world with the objective goal of educating underprivileged countries on the topic of IONM.
Finally, and of utmost importance to Dr. Jahangiri, is his family. He, his wife and children are eagerly anticipating the move to Dallas and are very excited about becoming Texans!
