ABOUT NEW ORLEANS AREA interventional neuroradiology Robert Dawson

Specialties:   StrokeAneurysm, Intracranial Hemorrhage, Brain – Vascular Malformations, Spine – Vascular

Dr. Dawson has treated stroke patients using a minimally invasive, highly specialized microcatheterization, which significantly reduces operative trauma to the patient, recovery time, and cost of treatment. Interventional neuroradiology is often used in cases of stroke to dissolve clots, treatment of intracranial aneurysms, and obliteration of vascular malformations of the brain or spinal cord.  Advances in interventional neuroradiology are happening every day, offering new hope for patients with conditions previously thought inoperable.

Dr. Dawson’s expertise is highly valued and his lectures have taken him all over the globe, even as far as China, to Shanghai, Beijing, Jinan City and Nantung. While there, Dr. Dawson performed one or two cases per day and spent a good deal of time lecturing, despite a language barrier. “I don’t speak Chinese and they didn’t speak much English but with interpreters we managed to communicate quite well,” he recalls.

All in a day’s work for Dr. Dawson, who is a Louisiana sportsman at heart. Born in Morganza, Dr. Dawson regularly fishes the bayous and lakes he’s known all his life in south Louisiana. He jokes that his favorite sports area is a secret but he’s been known to be seen leaving Cypress Cove Marina in Venice. WGNO-TV: Dr. Dawson on aneurysms and the local brain aneurysm support group.
