About Dr. Krishna Chaitanya N
Dr. Krishna Chaitanya N is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, with over 16 years of experience caring for patients with complex neurological conditions. He is best known for his work in brain tumor surgery — including meningiomas and gliomas — as well as endoscopic brain surgery and craniotomies. Patients and families often describe him as someone who takes the time to explain difficult diagnoses in plain language, making an overwhelming situation feel a little more manageable.
Dr. Chaitanya's training reflects a long and deliberate commitment to neurosurgery. He completed his MBBS and went on to earn a Master of Surgery (MS) before pursuing an M.Ch in Neurosurgery — the highest postgraduate qualification in surgical super-specialization in India. That academic foundation, combined with over a decade and a half of hands-on practice, means he brings both depth of knowledge and practical experience to every case.
What patients particularly value is his balanced approach: technically precise in the operating room, and genuinely attentive outside of it. He understands that brain surgery is never just a procedure — it affects the whole family. His team at Apollo Hospitals is set up to support patients through every step, from the first consultation through recovery.
For international patients considering treatment in India, Bengaluru is one of the country's leading medical destinations, and Apollo Hospitals is among its most recognized names. Dr. Chaitanya's combination of advanced surgical skills, a well-regarded hospital environment, and clear communication makes him a trusted choice for families traveling from abroad for neurosurgical care.
