Dr. B G Ratnam

Dr. B G Ratnam is a consultant neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, with more than 25 years of hands-on experience in brain and spine surgery. Over the course of his career, he has built a strong reputation for handling some of the most complex neurological conditions — from brain tumors and skull base pathologies to epilepsy and pediatric hydrocephalus. Patients and families often describe him as steady, thorough, and genuinely invested in their outcomes.

Dr. Ratnam completed his foundational medical training with an MBBS, followed by an MS in General Surgery and an MCh in Neurosurgery — the highest academic qualification in the field. He went on to receive fellowship training that deepened his expertise in cranial surgery, spine surgery, and neuro-oncology. This combination of structured academic training and years of operating-room experience gives him a well-rounded perspective that benefits every patient he sees.

What many patients and their families notice first is Dr. Ratnam's careful, methodical approach. He takes time to explain a diagnosis in plain language, walks through the surgical plan step by step, and makes sure families feel informed before any decision is made. His clinical focus spans brain tumors, spinal conditions, epilepsy, skull base surgery, and nerve-related disorders, which means he can manage a wide range of neurological problems under one roof at Apollo's well-equipped facility in Hyderabad.

International patients choose Dr. Ratnam because Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, is a well-established tertiary care centre with strong infrastructure for neurosurgery, and because his depth of experience across multiple subspecialties means fewer referrals and more continuity of care. Gaf Healthcare works closely with his team to coordinate appointments, medical record review, and travel arrangements, so patients from abroad can focus entirely on getting the right treatment.
