About Dr. Neel Shah

Dr. Neel Shah is a Senior Consultant in General Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, with more than three decades of hands-on surgical experience behind him. Holding the MBBS, DNB, and the internationally recognised FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons, he has built a reputation as a calm, skilled surgeon who patients and their families genuinely trust.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Shah has developed particular expertise in laparoscopic and minimal-access surgery — an approach that means smaller incisions, less pain after the procedure, and a faster return to normal life. He handles a wide spectrum of cases, from gallstone disease and hernias of all types to thyroid conditions, soft tissue problems, and colorectal concerns such as haemorrhoids and anal fistulas.

What patients consistently appreciate about Dr. Shah is how he takes the time to listen. He believes that a clear understanding of each person's medical history, lifestyle, and concerns leads to better outcomes — not just in the operating theatre, but in recovery too. He makes a point of explaining diagnoses and treatment options in plain language, so patients feel informed and confident rather than overwhelmed.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Shah's combination of global surgical training, long clinical experience, and a genuinely patient-centred manner makes Indraprastha Apollo a reassuring choice. Gaf Healthcare works directly with his team to help you arrange consultations, understand your treatment plan, and coordinate your stay in New Delhi from start to finish.
