01 — What I treat
Specializations
A focused range of brain and spine procedures, each explained in plain language so you know exactly what a treatment involves.
ACDF
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion treats a compressed nerve or spinal cord in the neck, restoring comfortable movement.
Lateral Mass Fixation
A method of securing the cervical spine with carefully placed screws when the neck needs added stability and support.
Brain Tumor Surgery
Careful, planned removal of brain tumours using image guidance, with the goal of protecting healthy tissue and function.
General Neurosurgery
Assessment and treatment across the brain, spine and nerves — from trauma to degenerative conditions, guided by clear explanation.
02 — Patient education
Understanding your symptoms
Straight answers to the questions most people arrive with — written to reassure, not to alarm, and never to push toward surgery.
Most back pain settles with time, movement and simple measures. It is worth seeing a specialist if the pain radiates down a leg or arm, comes with numbness, tingling or weakness, follows an injury, or lingers beyond about six weeks despite rest and physiotherapy. Any loss of bladder or bowel control needs urgent attention.

03 — About
A calm, considered approach to care
Over fifteen years I have come to believe that good neurosurgery begins with good conversation. Before scans and options, people want to understand what is happening in their own words — so that is where every consultation starts.
My focus is minimally invasive spine surgery alongside general and brain neurosurgery. Where a smaller, gentler technique can achieve the same result, I will always favour it — and where an operation is not needed, I will say so plainly.
The aim is simple: honest options, clear explanations and a treatment plan you feel genuinely part of. You should never leave a consultation unsure of what comes next, or why.
Community Initiative
Free monthly camps in villages near Bhubaneswar
Good spine and neurological care should not depend on how far you live from a city hospital. Each month I hold a free consultation camp in a village around Bhubaneswar, offering assessment, guidance and reassurance at no cost.
Where something needs closer attention, people are helped along a clear referral pathway. The intent is education and early guidance — meeting communities where they are.
Privacy first. Patient details from these camps are never shared, published or used for promotion — under any circumstances.

04 — Notes from consultations
Illustrative, always anonymized
These short notes are composed to illustrate common situations. They contain no real names, photos or identifying details — and never will.
“A working parent in their forties arrived with months of leg pain from a slipped disc, worried an operation would mean weeks away from family. After discussion, a keyhole discectomy was chosen — walking resumed the next day, with a gradual return to routine.”
“An older patient had been told nothing more could be done for neck pain and hand weakness. A careful reassessment identified a treatable compression; a planned procedure and structured physiotherapy restored day-to-day comfort.”
“A young adult feared their symptoms pointed to something serious. Imaging and examination showed a condition that did not need surgery at all — reassurance, guided exercise and follow-up were enough to settle it.”
