Dr. Chandrasekar K

Inarguably the best neurosurgeon in Chennai, Dr Chandrasekar K, is a dedicated specialist associated with Apollo Hospitals. Apart from foot drop and nerve-related conditions, the doctor treats complex medical conditions such as paralysis, brain infection, aneurysm and embolisation.

Neurosurgery is a specialised field that deals with diseases such as brain arteriovenous fistula, petrosal sinus sampling, head and neck and spinal tumours. Treating these conditions requires technical skills and a steady hand. As neurosurgeons like Dr Chandrasekar are well-versed in treating all brain, spine and nerve-related issues, they are the ideal choice for better recovery.

Depending on the patient, neurosurgeons such as Dr K Chandrasekar may conduct blood and urine tests to ensure no infection in the tissues. Next, they will advise imaging tests of the brain or the spine to get a better idea. In case of brain function problems, they may suggest EEG testing. Once the doctor has all the test results, he will advise medication, or in some cases, he may recommend surgical intervention. Some include complex surgeries such as pediatric neurosurgery, spinal and cerebral tumour embolisation and rhinorrhea repair surgery.

Dr Chandrasekar K has over 20 years of experience in this speciality. He is a warm, caring human being and an asset to the medical fraternity. He says, "A good doctor’s comforting and reassuring words are sometimes more powerful than medicines."
