Dr. Sogani Shani Kumar

Dr. Sogani Shani Kumar is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, with over 35 years of hands-on surgical experience. He has built a reputation as a careful, skilled surgeon across a wide spectrum of neurosurgery — from complex brain tumors and vascular conditions to spinal disorders and pediatric cases. Patients and families travel from across India and abroad specifically to be under his care.

His academic journey — MBBS, followed by an MS and then an MCh in Neurosurgery — gave him a strong clinical foundation that he has continued to build on throughout a long career. Over the decades he has developed particular depth in microneurosurgery, skull base surgery, endoscopic brain surgery, and vascular neurosurgery, including procedures such as AVM surgery, brain aneurysm clipping, and cavernoma surgery. His work in pediatric neurosurgery — treating children with brain tumors, hydrocephalus, and congenital anomalies — reflects the breadth and versatility of his practice.

What sets Dr. Kumar apart, in the eyes of many patients and their families, is the way he communicates. He takes time to explain a diagnosis in plain language, walks families through their options honestly, and involves patients in decisions about their own treatment. In a field that can feel overwhelming, that kind of openness means a great deal to people who are far from home and navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system.

International patients choose Dr. Kumar because he combines deep clinical experience at one of India's most respected hospitals with a calm, thoughtful bedside manner. Gaf Healthcare works closely with his team to make the journey as straightforward as possible — from your first query to your follow-up care — so you can focus entirely on getting well.
