Dr. V S Mehta

Dr. V S Mehta is one of India's most respected neurosurgeons, with a career built over more than 38 years of dedicated clinical practice and leadership. He currently serves as Chairman Emeritus of Neurosciences at Paras Hospitals, Gurugram — a role that reflects both his seniority and the lasting mark he has made on neurosurgical care in India. He is also a Padma Shri awardee, one of India's highest civilian honours, recognised for his outstanding contributions to medicine.

Dr. Mehta completed his MCh in Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi — widely regarded as India's premier medical institution. He went on to serve AIIMS for a significant part of his career, including roles as Head of Neurosurgery and Chief of the Neurosciences Centre. These years at the helm of one of India's busiest and most complex neurosurgical departments shaped him into the clinician and leader he is today. He is also a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India, and a Fellow of the National Academy of Medical Sciences.

Patients and families often describe Dr. Mehta as someone who takes time to explain a diagnosis clearly — in language that makes sense, not just medical shorthand. His expertise covers a wide range of complex conditions, from brain tumours and skull base lesions to pituitary tumours, gliomas, meningiomas, and paediatric brain tumours. He is experienced in endoscopic brain surgery, which allows for less invasive approaches to conditions that once required open surgery.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Mehta represents the kind of expertise that is genuinely world-class. His training at AIIMS, his decades of leadership, and his national recognition give families confidence at what is often one of the most stressful times of their lives.
