About
My professional journey has been guided by a deep commitment to advancing neurological care, education, and research in India.
From my early days as a medical student at Andhra University to leading neurology departments at premier institutions like NIMS , I have always prioritized patient-centered care, clinical excellence, and academic rigor.
My focus has been on improving outcomes in epilepsy, stroke, and neurocritical care, often through collaborative research and pioneering programs such as epilepsy surgery and vagus nerve stimulation.
I believe in mentoring the next generation of neurologists and contributing to a strong scientific foundation for neurology in India, while upholding compassion, integrity, and continuous learning as core professional values
