Area of specialization: | I am a neuro and spine surgeon who recently moved from completing my neurosurgical residency into full time practice. My main work is in assessing patients, understanding where the problem really comes from and deciding quickly what step is right next. Some cases are simple, other times the pressure in operating room is intense and decision making has to be fast but still careful. I spend a lot of time with diagnostic tests, scans, clinical exams.. trying to put together the pieces before surgery is even considered.
I focus on complex brain and spine conditions that require surgical treatment. The procedures I handle can be intricate, involving delicate structures where precision matter more than anything else. I try to bring a meticulous approach, but at the same time I know surgery is never routine, every patient is a bit different. In the OR I take lead, but also depend on the team, their timing and skill are part of the outcome too.
I keep learning continuously, because neurosurgery keeps changing with new techniques and technology. Staying updated is not optional for me, it’s part of my practice. At the end what matters is safe surgery and patients getting back to life with the best possible function. |
Achievements: | I am still early in my career but I was lucky to contribute to few important works. In 2023 my paper on neuropsychological profiling of colloid cyst patients got published in Neurology India, which was a big step for me. I also presented on GPi vs STN deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease at NSI Kudamattam 2024 and shared results from a comparative study on trigeminal neuralgia with 200 cases @2023. At NSICON 2023 I again spoke on colloid cyst profiling. I also attend the AIIMS annual microneurosurgery workshop 2024, where microanastomosis drills & endoscopy technique were practiced in detail!! |
I am working at Apollo Institute of Medical Sceinces and Research, Chittoor and also as a visiting consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Aragonda. My main area of focus is treating people who struggle with low back pain, neck pain and radiculopathies that spread pain or weakness down the arms or legs. Many of my patients come to me after living with discomfort for long time, sometimes even ignoring symptoms until daily routine gets disrupted. I try to understand the root causes carefully, sometimes its a simple disc issue, other times more complex. I also manage cases of headache and seizures, both of which can be unpredictable and distressing. The pattern of these conditions can change from one person to another, and I often find that listening closely gives me more insight than any scan or report. Neurological problems like brain tumours, hydrocephalus, or head trauma are more severe, and require step by step evaluation. Each case is different, and I dont belive in rushing decisions when it comes to such sensitive issues. Patients and their families often feel lost during these times, and part of my role is to guide them with clarity even if the path is not always straight. Working in both Chittoor and Aragonda has given me exposure to a wide range of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Some days I deal with spine related pain, other days with sudden emergencies like head injury. Honestly, it can be overwhelming, but at the same time deeply rewarding when patients recover and return to their normal life. I tend to keep my consultations practical, using evidence-based medicine but also adapting it to what works for each individual. My approach has always been patient-centered, making sure questions are answered even if they appear small. Many people with chronic pain or seizures worry about how it will affect work, family, or even sleep. I try to keep treatment plans realistic and focused on improving quality of life, whether that means medications, lifestyle changes, or careful monitoring over time. In short, my work is centered on treating neurological disorders with attention, patience, and a commitment to help people regain control over their health. Some days outcomes are clear, other times unpredictable, but I remain focused on delivering honest and consistent care to every patient who comes to me.
