Ahmed E. Doomi, MD

Ahmed Doomi, MD, joined the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Neurological Surgery as a clinical assistant professor in August 2024. He brings specialized expertise in spine surgery, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, and general neurosurgery. Following advanced fellowship training in complex and minimally invasive spine procedures, Dr. Doomi is skilled in performing a wide range of surgical techniques—including minimally invasive, ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic, and open spine surgeries. His comprehensive approach enables him to tailor treatment plans to each patient, ensuring personalized care for a variety of spinal conditions. 

Dr. Doomi’s fellowship training in functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation enables him to deliver optimal outcomes for patients with movement disorders, intractable epilepsy, and chronic pain. He is affiliated with UPMC Altoona.

Dr. Doomi earned his medical degree from the University of Khartoum in Sudan. He went on to complete a neurosurgery residency at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) in Qatar, an institution affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q), one of the most prestigious academic healthcare institutions in the Middle East. He is board-certified in neurosurgery by the Arab Board of Neurosurgery, the European Board of Neurosurgery, and the Royal College of Surgeons in the United Kingdom.

Following his residency, Dr. Doomi practiced neurosurgery before relocating to the United States, where he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in skull base and microneurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, N.Y. He also pursued a postdoctoral research fellowship in spine biomechanics at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.

Dr. Doomi further advanced his training through two CAST-accredited clinical fellowships: one in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery at the University of Miami, and another in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital.

Dr. Doomi’s research portfolio includes numerous publications and abstracts in the field of neurosurgery. He has been actively involved in both clinical and basic science research projects. Outside of his professional work, Dr. Doomi enjoys traveling, music, and teaching
