Dr. Sonal Gupta

Dr. Sonal Gupta is one of India's most experienced neurosurgeons, with over three decades of practice dedicated to brain and spine surgery. She leads the Department of Neuro and Spine Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh in New Delhi, where she holds the role of Principal Director and Head of Department. Her work focuses on complex brain tumors, skull base surgery, and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques — conditions that often require a surgeon with both rare technical skill and steady clinical judgment.

Dr. Gupta completed her advanced neurosurgical training — the M.Ch. in Neurosurgery — at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, one of India's foremost centers for neurological sciences. She also holds a Diplomate of National Board (DNB) in Neurosurgery. Her training was further shaped by international exposure at Salford Royal Hospital in Manchester, UK, where she gained firsthand experience of global neurosurgical standards.

Patients and families often speak of Dr. Gupta's ability to explain complex diagnoses in plain, reassuring language. She takes a thoughtful, patient-centered approach — making sure each person and their family genuinely understands the treatment plan before any decision is made. Her research interests, which include work on fibrin glue applications in neurosurgery and a grading system for Chiari malformation with syringomyelia, reflect a commitment to improving outcomes beyond the operating room.

International patients traveling to India for neurosurgical care frequently choose Dr. Gupta for her combination of extensive experience, subspecialty depth in brain tumor and skull base surgery, and access to Fortis Hospital's modern infrastructure. Through GAF Healthcare, the entire process — from initial consultation and medical records review to travel and post-operative support — is coordinated so that patients can focus entirely on their recovery.
