Dr. Chander M Malhothra

Dr. Chander M Malhothra is a senior neurosurgeon with over 25 years of hands-on experience treating some of the most complex conditions of the brain and spine. Based at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi — one of India's most recognized tertiary care centers — he brings together deep surgical expertise and a calm, patient-first approach that families find reassuring during what is often a stressful time.

Dr. Malhothra completed his MBBS, followed by an MS and a superspecialty MCh in Neurosurgery, giving him a thorough grounding in both the science and the craft of his field. Over a career spanning more than two decades, he has built particular expertise in brain tumor surgery, skull base surgery, epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation, and minimally invasive endoscopic brain procedures — areas that demand both precision and a clear understanding of how outcomes affect a patient's everyday life.

Patients and their families often speak about how Dr. Malhothra takes the time to explain a diagnosis and the surgical plan in plain language, without jargon. He is equally comfortable conversing in English and Hindi, which matters a great deal when someone is trying to make sense of a difficult diagnosis far from home. His colleagues describe him as methodical and thorough, someone who weighs every option before recommending surgery.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Malhothra represents a combination that is genuinely hard to find — specialist-level training, a long track record in complex neurosurgery, and access to Apollo's internationally accredited facilities. Gaf Healthcare works directly with his team to coordinate appointments, medical records review, and care planning so that the journey from inquiry to treatment is as smooth as possible.
