Dr. Venkatesan Sanjeevi

Dr. Venkatesan Sanjeevi is a Chennai-based neurosurgeon with over a decade of hands-on experience in some of the most complex areas of brain and spine care. He specialises in neuro-oncology, skull base surgery, neurovascular procedures, and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques — bringing together the full range of modern neurosurgery under one roof at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai. Patients and families often describe him as someone who takes the time to explain things clearly, which makes an enormous difference when you are facing a brain or spine diagnosis.

Dr. Sanjeevi built his foundation at two of Tamil Nadu's most respected public institutions, completing both his MS in General Surgery and his MCh in Neurosurgery at Madras Medical College, Chennai — where he graduated as a Gold Medalist and University Rank Holder. He later pursued a Fellowship in Endoscopic Spine Surgery and, most recently, advanced training in Neuroendovascular Surgery and Stroke Intervention at Kameda Medical Center in Japan (2025), keeping his skills at the cutting edge of the field. His career has taken him through several prestigious hospitals across South India, giving him broad exposure to diverse and challenging cases.

Beyond the operating theatre, Dr. Sanjeevi is a committed academic. He is a Gold Medallist from Madras Medical College, has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals, and has written the Clinical Handbook of Neurosurgery, now in its second edition. This scholarly grounding means his clinical decisions are rooted in the latest evidence — something patients and referring doctors alike appreciate.

For international patients coming to India through GAF Healthcare, Dr. Sanjeevi is a particularly reassuring choice. He consults in both English and Tamil, works within a multidisciplinary team at a JCI-accredited hospital, and takes a genuinely patient-centric approach — involving families at every step of the journey. Whether you are travelling for a brain tumour evaluation, a complex spine procedure, or a vascular condition, his team is equipped to guide you from your first inquiry right through to recovery.
