Bio & Overview
Dr. Ryan Kellogg is a board-certified assistant professor of neurosurgery specializing in stroke and cerebrovascular neurosurgery. His expertise encompasses both open microneurosurgery techniques and minimally invasive endovascular procedures for the treatment of arterial and venous conditions affecting the brain and spine.
Dr. Kellogg, originally from Bellevue, Washington, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. Subsequently, he worked in a medical simulation laboratory, where he contributed to research studies and observed the development of innovative surgical and training technologies. After completing medical school at Duke University, Dr. Kellogg completed neurosurgery residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina, which included a year of endovascular fellowship. He then undertook a second year of endovascular training at the University of Washington.
Dr. Kellogg is dedicated to advancing minimally invasive surgery by employing the latest surgical technologies aimed at enhancing safety and outcomes. He pursues this objective through his roles as a clinician, researcher, and inventor. Dr. Kellogg holds several patents in the field of image-guided surgery and neurosurgical devices. His current research concentrates on the application of artificial intelligence, including deep learning, to enhance diagnosis and gain a deeper understanding of brain imaging. Furthermore, he is involved in the research and development of robotics for endovascular procedures.
In his free time, Dr. Kellogg enjoys reading, spending time outdoors and traveling with his wife and children.

Highlights
Meet Neurosurgeon Ryan Kellogg, MD
I'm Dr. Ryan Kellogg and I'm a neurosurgeon at the University of Virginia. My primary focus is on cerebrovascular neurosurgery, and that involves primarily the blood vessels that supply the brain and the spine. I see patients for a variety of diseases including brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, intracranial bleeds, and disorders of the spinal cord as well. Probably what I'm known the most for is treating patients through endovascular approaches and this involves using a small catheter wire that enters through the wrist or groin artery and provides us access to treat diseases, such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous shunts, or even embolizing brain tumors through minimally invasive means. I'm really passionate about trying to do the best thing possible for the patient given their pathology. I think a big part of what I do for most patients is trying to find what's the best way to treat some kind of disorder of the brain or spine. Whether it's non-operative management or operative management, I think having a good frank discussion with the patient about their options is really critical. UVA provides a very comprehensive ability to care for patients with a variety of diseases. A lot of the things that we see on the neurosurgical side are very complex disorders that are rare, so when you come to a large place like University of Virginia, you're going to get people that are experts in some pretty unique pathologies.
