Dr. Krishna K N

Dr. Krishna K N is one of Bengaluru's most experienced neurosurgeons, with a career spanning more than three and a half decades in brain and spine surgery. He currently serves as Senior Consultant and Head of the Department of Brain and Spine Surgery at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road — one of South India's leading tertiary care centres. Patients and colleagues alike know him for his calm, steady presence and his ability to explain complex neurological conditions in language families can actually understand.

Dr. Krishna completed his MBBS in medicine and surgery before going on to earn the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in Neurosurgery — a internationally respected qualification that reflects the rigour of his surgical training. Over his career he has been instrumental in establishing neurosurgical departments in both medical colleges and corporate hospitals across Bengaluru, helping to build the infrastructure that gives more patients access to high-quality specialist care.

His clinical focus covers a wide range of neurosurgical conditions: from complex brain tumours and delicate skull base pathologies to epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, and microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. He brings together advanced operative technique and a genuinely patient-first philosophy — taking time to understand each person's situation before recommending a course of action.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Krishna's combination of British fellowship training, decades of hands-on surgical experience, and his base at a internationally accredited Apollo facility makes him a reassuring choice. Gaf Healthcare works directly with his team to coordinate consultations, second opinions, and full treatment planning — so your family can focus on what matters most.
