Dr. Ganesh Krishna Murthy

Dr. Ganesh Krishna Murthy is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at Medicover Hospitals, Whitefield, Bengaluru, with more than 37 years of hands-on experience in treating some of the most complex conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system. Over the decades, he has built a reputation as a steady, thoughtful surgeon who combines deep clinical knowledge with genuine care for his patients.

Dr. Murthy completed his foundational medical training with an MBBS, followed by an MS in General Surgery, before specialising in Neurosurgery through an MCh — a rigorous academic and surgical pathway that equipped him for the full breadth of neurological care. His clinical focus includes brain tumour surgery, deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, epilepsy surgery, and endoscopic and minimally invasive approaches that reduce recovery time and surgical trauma for patients.

What patients and families often say about Dr. Murthy is that he takes the time to listen. Neurological diagnoses can feel overwhelming, and he is known for explaining conditions and treatment options in plain, reassuring language — making sure no one leaves a consultation with unanswered questions. That patience and clarity make a real difference, especially for families travelling from abroad who are navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system.

International patients choose Dr. Murthy because his experience spans a wide spectrum of neurosurgical care, from intricate tumour removals to advanced spine procedures, all delivered within a modern, well-equipped hospital environment in Bengaluru. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team to make the appointment, travel, and care coordination process as smooth as possible for patients coming from overseas.
