I am  a senior Neurosurgeon practicing in Coimbatore, India  since 1994.  I graduated (M.B.B.S.) from Coimbatore Medical College in 1984 and joined Christian Medical College, Vellore (CMC) for my postgraduation and received my  M.Ch. in 1990 and worked in CMC  Hospital for a year as Consultant.

         I  joined Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore as a Consultant in 1991.  Sri Ramakrishna Hospital is a 650 bedded Multispecialty Hospital that has been at the forefront of medical care in Coimbatore. I introduced Microneurosurgery to Coimbatore and this part of South India.

          I went to the  U.K. in 1992 and worked as Registrar in Neurosurgery at the Regional Neurosciences Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne for a year. I trained in Cerebrovascular surgery (Aneurysm surgery) and specialized in Micro and Minimally invasive surgery of the brain and spinal cord.

            I returned to India in 1994 and continued  as Consultant Neurosurgeon at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital and also at Masonic Children's hospital. Both hospitals have DNB courses in Surgery and Pediatrics respectfully. I am also a teaching faculty (Professor) at College of Physiotherapy, Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Paramedical Sciences.

              With  growing interest in childhood neuro problems, I went to Birmingham, UK in 2002 for training in Neuroendoscopy  and Craniosynostosis  at the Princess of Wales Children’s Hospital. Back in Coimbatore I started doing Neuroendoscopy. Very few centres in India were doing reconstruction for craniosynostois then. I   started  a Craniofacial Unit at Sri  Ramakrishna Hospital and continue to  do reconstruction surgeries.

                I was Secretary of the Indian Society for Paediatric Neurosurgery (INDSPN)   for 3 years and now I am the Treasurer of the INDSPN. I am a member of ISPN and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) and Neurological Society of India (NSI). 

               I am a Rotarian (PHF) and  President -Elect  of the Rotary Club of Coimbatore Midtown.

               I am the Managing Trustee of a  trust to help poor children with neurological disorders called Brain and Spine Foundation and along with the Rotary Club of Coimbatore Midtown and Ramakrishna Hospital run a project called Project Brainchild  where  brain and spine surgeries are done free or at subsidized  cost.

               I would love to join Intersurgeon and offer my services where needed and collaborate with others to do free/ subsidized surgeries in Coimbatore.
