Dr. Aakanksha Aggarwal

Dr. Aakanksha Aggarwal is a neurosurgeon based at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram, one of India's leading multi-specialty hospitals. With more than eleven years in the field, she has built a focused practice around brain and spine tumour surgery, bringing together technical precision and a genuine concern for every patient's quality of life.

Her training spans an MBBS foundation, a DNB in General Surgery, a DrNB in Neurosurgery, and — crucially — a dedicated Fellowship in Neuro-Oncology Surgery. That fellowship shaped her into a specialist who thinks deeply about tumours: not just removing them, but doing so in a way that preserves the functions that matter most to patients, such as speech, movement, and memory.

In the operating theatre, Dr. Aggarwal works with techniques designed to make surgery as safe as possible. These include navigation guided by DTI (a type of brain mapping), network-based surgical planning, and real-time neuromonitoring that alerts the surgical team the moment any critical pathway is at risk. Epilepsy surgery is another area where she applies this same careful, function-first philosophy. Patients and their families often describe feeling genuinely listened to during consultations — she takes the time to explain complex diagnoses in plain language and walks families through their options before any decision is made.

For international patients, Medanta offers world-class infrastructure alongside the cost advantages that make India a trusted destination for complex neurosurgical care. GAF Healthcare works directly with Dr. Aggarwal's team to coordinate appointments, medical record reviews, second opinions, and travel logistics — so families can focus entirely on getting the right care.
