Dr. Rahul Gupta

Dr. Rahul Gupta is a seasoned neurosurgeon based in New Delhi, with over two decades of experience in brain and spine surgery. Practising at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, he handles some of the most complex conditions in neurosurgery — from brain tumors and aneurysms to spinal trauma — with a calm, methodical approach that patients and families genuinely appreciate.

His academic journey took him through general surgery before he specialised in neurosurgery, earning his MCh degree. What truly sets him apart is his commitment to staying at the leading edge of the field. He pursued advanced training in fluorescence-guided malignant glioma surgery in Graz, Austria — a technique that helps surgeons distinguish tumor tissue from healthy brain during an operation. He also trained in functional neurosurgery in Amsterdam, Holland, broadening his ability to treat conditions that affect movement, cognition, and quality of life.

Patients often say they feel heard in Dr. Gupta's clinic. He takes time to explain what is happening in plain language, walks families through their options, and is straightforward about what surgery can and cannot achieve. That honesty, combined with his technical depth in areas like endoscopic brain surgery, skull base tumors, and pediatric neurosurgery, makes him a trusted name for people facing difficult diagnoses.

For international patients coming through Gaf Healthcare, Dr. Gupta's dual affiliation with Fortis Escorts Heart Institute and Fortis Noida means access to world-class facilities with strong coordination for travel, accommodation, and follow-up care. Whether you are seeking a second opinion or planning definitive treatment, his team is experienced in supporting patients from abroad every step of the way.
