About Dr. Jaims Lim
"I provide patient-centered care through a comprehensive approach, tailoring treatment plans to each individual—whether open surgery or minimally invasive endovascular procedures. My care is guided by a simple principle: “Is this what I would want for my own loved one?”
Dr. Lim is a dual-trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon specializing in both open vascular neurosurgery and neuroendovascular surgery. He treats a wide range of brain and spinal vascular disorders, including aneurysms, stroke, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), fistulas, carotid artery disease, and venous disorders. He completed his neurosurgical residency and neuroendovascular fellowship at the University at Buffalo, one of the nation's leading cerebrovascular centers.
An active clinician-scientist, Dr. Lim has authored more than 90 peer-reviewed publications and contributed to several neurosurgery textbooks. A graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Emory University, where he graduated summa cum laude, he is recognized for combining technical excellence with compassionate, patient-centered care. As he notes, "It is a privilege and honor to serve the Houston community."
