Dr. Debjyoti Dhar
Experience: | 9 years |
Education: | National Institute Of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences |
Academic degree: | DM (Doctorate of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am a neurologist working across a pretty wide range of brain, spine, nerve and muscle related conditions—each with its own puzzle to solve. My work covers stroke care, epilepsy management, migraine & other headache disorders, movement issues like Parkinson’s, vertigo and balance disorders, and neuro problems in kids like cerebral palsy or epilepsy. I also see patients with multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s & other dementia, sleep disorders, meningitis, encephalitis, myasthenia, neuropathies, GBS, and CNS demyelination. Neurogenetic disorders are part of my practice too, along with anxiety or depression when they overlap with neurological illness. I like going step-by-step—clinical history, exams, imaging, lab work—before putting the pieces together. Some cases demand urgent action, others need long-term tracking, but either way I keep the focus on clear diagnosis and targeted management that fits the patient’s life, not just the textbook. |
Achievements: | I am grateful for a career where learning and recognition kinda walk hand in hand. Over the yrs I’ve recieved multiple national & international travel grants, including for WCN 2025 in Seoul, the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders in USA & Denmark, and the World Congress of Neurology in Canada. Won quizzes like NIMHANS NISNMD 2023, Monsoon Summit, and clinched poster & academic awards from med school days to specialist training—each pushing me to aim sharper. |
I am a neurologist trained in India & abroad, and my path’s been pretty layered. I did my MBBS from Medical College Kolkata—those were the years where you see just about everything in medicine, from OPD rush to night emergencies. Later I trained in Neurology at NIMHANS, Bangalore, which is like living inside the brain—literally every case, from rare neurogenetic disorders to complex stroke management, comes through there. It really sharpened my skills in both acute and chronic neurological care. I also hold the MRCP(UK) Speciality Certificate in Neurology, which was not just about exams—it was about aligning my knowledge to global clinical standards. After that, I became a Fellow of the European Board of Neurology (FEBN), which kinda pulled me into wider international exposure, learning how neurological practice varies yet connects across countries. In my clinical work now, I manage a broad spectrum—stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, neuromuscular disorders, headaches, movement disorders. I like building a clear diagnosis roadmap, because in neurology the smallest missed clue can change everything. I’m big on explaining things—breaking down MRI findings, EMG results, medication side-effects—coz if the patient doesn’t understand what’s going on, we’re already a step behind. I also keep space for the human side. Some neurological illnesses are life-long, some unpredictable. It’s not just about writing a prescription—it’s about planning long-term care, adapting with the patient, making sure they don’t feel abandoned when symptoms fluctuate. And yeah, I read a lot of journals, attend CMEs, keep in touch with peers worldwide—because the science keeps moving and I don’t wanna get stuck in last year’s thinking. At the end of the day, my aim’s simple: accurate diagnosis, effective management, and giving people the clarity & confidence to live with their condition without feeling lost.
