About Dr. Rajendra Prasad
Dr. Rajendra Prasad is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, with over 35 years of experience in treating some of the most complex conditions of the brain and nervous system. He is widely respected for his expertise in brain tumor surgery, skull base surgery, cerebrovascular procedures, and functional neurosurgery — areas that demand both surgical precision and deep clinical judgment.
Dr. Prasad completed his foundational training in India, earning his MBBS, MS in General Surgery, and M.Ch in Neurosurgery before going on to pursue fellowships at leading institutions across the USA, UK, France, and Japan. This global exposure shaped a surgical philosophy that combines international best practices with a nuanced understanding of each patient's individual needs — an approach that continues to define his work today.
Patients and their families often speak of the clarity and calm that Dr. Prasad brings to difficult conversations. Whether the diagnosis is a brain aneurysm, a deep-seated glioma, or a movement disorder requiring Deep Brain Stimulation, he takes the time to explain every option in plain language — helping families feel informed and supported before they ever enter the operating room.
For international patients seeking neurological care in India, Dr. Prasad's combination of advanced training, institutional backing at one of India's most recognised hospitals, and decades of hands-on experience makes him a trusted choice. GAF Healthcare works closely with his team to ensure a smooth journey from first inquiry to follow-up care, so patients can focus entirely on getting better.
