About Dr. Hitesh Kumar
Dr. Hitesh Kumar is a senior neurosurgeon based in the Delhi NCR region, currently serving as Director of Neuro Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Noida. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in cranial and spinal surgery, he is known for handling some of the most complex neurological cases with calm precision and a patient-centred approach. Families who have been through a difficult diagnosis often say that his ability to explain things clearly — without overwhelming them with jargon — made a real difference during a stressful time.
Dr. Kumar's entire medical education took place at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi — one of India's most respected institutions. He completed both his MBBS and his postgraduate MCh in Neurosurgery there, and earned a Gold Medal in Microbiology along the way. That academic foundation gave him a deep understanding of the science behind neurological conditions, and it shows in how methodically he approaches diagnosis and surgical planning.
Over his career, Dr. Kumar has developed strong expertise in brain tumour surgery, skull base procedures, and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. Whether a patient needs a craniotomy for a complex tumour or a targeted endoscopic procedure that shortens recovery time, he tailors the approach to what works best for that individual. His work spans a wide range — from gliomas and meningiomas to spinal tumours and degenerative spine conditions.
For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Kumar's combination of AIIMS training, institutional leadership, and experience with a broad range of neurosurgical conditions makes him a trusted choice. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team to help you navigate appointments, medical records, travel logistics, and follow-up care — so you can focus entirely on getting well.
