About Dr. Anil Kumar Kansal

Dr. Anil Kumar Kansal is one of Delhi's most experienced neurosurgeons, with over three decades of dedicated practice in brain and spine surgery. As Vice Chairman and Head of the Neurosurgery and Neuro Spine department at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, he leads one of the capital's busiest and most technically advanced neurosurgical units. Patients and families travelling to India for neurological care often turn to him because of his reputation for taking on cases that require both surgical precision and careful clinical judgment.

Dr. Kansal's academic foundations are strong. He completed his MBBS at Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, Meerut, followed by an MS in General Surgery and an MCh in Neurosurgery — both from the renowned King George's Medical College, Lucknow University. That rigorous training shaped a surgeon who is equally comfortable managing complex brain tumours, performing deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, and handling delicate endoscopic procedures with minimally invasive techniques.

Over his career, Dr. Kansal has worked across several of India's leading hospitals, including Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and Fortis Hospital, among others. Each posting added new dimensions to his clinical experience and reinforced his ability to handle the full spectrum of cranial and spinal conditions. Colleagues and patients alike describe him as methodical, clear in his communication, and genuinely invested in each person's recovery journey — qualities that matter enormously when a family is navigating a serious neurological diagnosis.

For international patients coming to India through Gaf Healthcare, Dr. Kansal represents exactly the kind of specialist they are looking for: deeply trained, institutionally credentialed, and experienced in caring for patients from diverse backgrounds. Whether the concern is a newly diagnosed brain tumour, a spine condition requiring surgical intervention, or a long-standing condition like epilepsy or Parkinson's disease, his team at BLK-Max is well-equipped to support patients every step of the way.
