Dr. Rajesh Alugolu

Dr. Rajesh Alugolu is one of India's most experienced neurosurgeons, based at Yashoda Hospitals in Hyderabad's Hi-Tech City. Over a career spanning more than 26 years, he has built a particular reputation in Deep Brain Stimulation — a precision procedure that can dramatically improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. He has performed over 850 DBS procedures, placing him among the highest-volume specialists in the country for this technique.

Dr. Alugolu completed his MBBS at Thanjavur Medical College in Tamil Nadu, followed by his MS in General Surgery at VSS Medical College in Odisha, and his MCh in Neurosurgery at the prestigious Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad. After training, he went on to serve as course coordinator for NIMS's post-doctoral fellowship program on Surgery for Movement Disorders — a role that reflects both his clinical standing and his commitment to shaping the next generation of neurosurgeons. His work as an academic is equally substantial, with more than 80 peer-reviewed publications and 5 book chapters to his name.

Beyond movement disorders, Dr. Alugolu handles a wide range of complex neurological conditions — from skull base tumors and pituitary lesions to epilepsy surgery and acoustic neuromas. He has performed more than 5,000 neurosurgical procedures in total. Patients and families often describe him as someone who takes time to explain things clearly, making even complicated diagnoses feel manageable. That combination of technical depth and genuine communication is something many families find reassuring when they are navigating a serious diagnosis for the first time.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Alugolu's practice at Yashoda Hospitals offers access to advanced neurosurgical infrastructure in a hospital known for structured international patient services. GAF Healthcare coordinates the full journey — from securing a medical opinion and arranging consultations to supporting families with logistics on the ground in Hyderabad.
