A neurosurgeon is a specialist trained to treat conditions of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves — from brain tumours and pituitary tumours to slipped discs and spinal stenosis. Dr. Arun Reddy M is a DNB-qualified neurosurgeon with a Fellowship in Cerebrovascular Surgery (FCVS) from Japan and 18 years of experience, practising at CARE Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad.
What does a neurosurgeon treat?
Neurosurgeons manage a wide spectrum of conditions: brain tumours, pituitary tumours, hydrocephalus, head injuries, cerebrovascular conditions such as aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia, and the full range of spine problems — slipped discs, sciatica, spinal canal stenosis, spine trauma and spinal tumours. Many of these conditions are first managed without surgery.
Training that spans brain and spine
Neurosurgical training (DNB/MCh Neurosurgery) is one of the longest and most demanding surgical residencies, focused on microsurgery of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Dr. Arun Reddy M supplemented this with a cerebrovascular fellowship in Japan — an environment known for precision microsurgical technique.
How to choose a neurosurgeon in Hyderabad
Verify qualifications and registration, ask how many procedures of your specific type the surgeon performs, ask what happens if you don't have surgery, and expect a clear explanation of risks and alternatives. A good neurosurgeon should welcome questions and second opinions rather than pressure you into a decision.
Minimally invasive focus
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Arun Reddy M favours minimally invasive approaches — endoscopic spine surgery, keyhole discectomy and muscle-sparing decompression — that aim to treat the problem effectively while reducing tissue damage, pain and hospital stay. Not every condition is suitable for a minimally invasive approach, and this is always discussed honestly.
Where to consult
Consultations are available at CARE Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad — Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For patients outside Hyderabad or those seeking a second opinion, MRI scans can be sent through this website for a preliminary review before travelling.
