Dr. Pradeep Selvan went into medicine to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience with real-world care—delivering lifesaving treatments to patients in urgent, high-stakes situations. He chose neuroendovascular surgery because of its precision, promise, and potential to revolutionize the way we treat stroke and other vascular diseases of the brain. His philosophy is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care while advancing the science that shapes tomorrow’s treatments.

Dr. Selvan is board-certified in Adult Neurology and Vascular Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and certified in CNS Endovascular Surgery by the American Board of Neurological Surgery. He currently serves as Stroke Medical Director at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, California, where he has helped build a leading stroke program that serves a diverse and high-acuity population. He also treats patients at Centinela Hospital Medical Center and Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Selvan leads a preclinical research lab at The Lundquist Institute, where he investigates novel endovascular devices and neuromodulation strategies. His research includes developing a transvenous EEG system, spinal cord stimulation for bladder function, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation for swallowing disorders. His dedication to advancing the field has earned him honors such as the USC Neurology Teacher of the Year, SVIN Travel Award, and the Arthur L. Rose Award for Research.
