Dr. Pranav Kumar

Dr. Pranav Kumar is a Senior Consultant in Neurosurgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi — one of India's most respected names in the field. With over 27 years of clinical experience, he has helped thousands of patients navigate some of the most complex conditions affecting the brain and spine. His practice covers everything from brain tumor removal and skull base surgery to deep brain stimulation and epilepsy surgery.

Dr. Kumar completed his foundational medical training with an MBBS, followed by an MS and an MCh in Neurosurgery — the highest postgraduate surgical qualification in the field. This academic journey gave him a rigorous grounding in neurological science and surgical precision that has defined his career. Over nearly three decades, he has built particular expertise in areas that many neurosurgeons rarely encounter, including arteriovenous malformation surgery, acoustic neuroma removal, and minimally invasive endoscopic brain surgery.

What patients and their families often mention is how Dr. Kumar takes time to explain things clearly. A serious brain or spine diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and he believes that a well-informed patient is better placed to make good decisions about their care. He tailors every treatment plan to the individual, weighing the risks and benefits honestly and without rush.

For international patients coming to India through GAF Healthcare, Dr. Kumar represents a compelling combination: world-class neurosurgical skill, access to Apollo's advanced infrastructure, and a warm, communicative approach that helps families feel supported from the first consultation to recovery. His team at Apollo Sarita Vihar is experienced in coordinating care for patients travelling from abroad, making the entire journey as smooth as possible.
