About Dr. Abhidha Shah
Dr. Abhidha Shah is a highly regarded neurosurgeon based in Mumbai, with over 22 years of experience treating some of the most complex conditions of the brain and spine. Practicing at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, she is especially known for her work in skull base tumor surgery, brain tumor removal, epilepsy surgery, and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. Patients and families often describe her as someone who takes the time to explain every step — making a daunting diagnosis feel a little less overwhelming.
Her training journey reflects a deep commitment to excellence. Dr. Shah completed her foundational surgical education at Grant Medical College and Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital in Mumbai, before pursuing her MCh in Neurosurgery at NIMHANS, Bangalore — one of India's most respected neuroscience institutions. She went on to earn the Intercollegiate FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons, UK, and completed advanced fellowships with both the Royal College of Neurological Surgeons and the Joint Chapter of Neurological Surgeons, USA. These international experiences shaped her ability to bring global standards of care to her patients in India.
Dr. Shah is the founder of the Bombay Skull Base Society and serves as an international member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, USA. These roles reflect not just her clinical skill, but her broader dedication to advancing the field — through peer collaboration, research, and continuing education. She is equally comfortable performing open craniotomies and highly precise endoscopic procedures, tailoring her approach to what is safest and most effective for each individual patient.
For international patients considering neurosurgical care in India, Dr. Shah offers a reassuring combination of world-class training, genuine clinical depth, and a patient-first philosophy.
