Best Neurosurgeon in Ahmedabad
Brain and spine surgery — when it is needed, when it can be avoided, and who performs it at Health1.
What neurosurgeons treat
Brain tumours, traumatic head injury, brain haemorrhage and aneurysms, hydrocephalus, and structural spine disease that has failed conservative treatment. Some conditions overlap with interventional neurology — an aneurysm may be clipped surgically or coiled through a catheter, and the right answer depends on its anatomy.
At Health1 both routes exist under one roof, which means the decision can be made on merit rather than on which specialist you happened to reach first.
Surgery is not always the answer
A large proportion of back and neck pain never needs a surgeon. Red flags that do warrant urgent assessment are progressive weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss with pain, or pain that is worse at night and unrelieved by rest.
If you have been advised surgery and are unsure, a second opinion is reasonable and we offer it routinely.
Cost and insurance
Health1 accepts PMJAY, CGHS, ECHS and all major insurers and TPAs for cashless treatment. Confirm your specific package with our insurance desk before admission.

Common questions
What conditions does a neurosurgeon treat?
Brain tumours, head injury, brain haemorrhage and aneurysms, hydrocephalus, and structural spine disease that has not responded to conservative treatment.
Do I need a neurosurgeon or a neurologist?
A neurologist diagnoses and treats conditions medically — stroke, epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson's. A neurosurgeon operates. Start with a neurologist unless there has been trauma or a scan already shows a surgical problem.
Is neurosurgery available at branches other than Shilaj?
Yes. Neurosurgery cover is available at Shilaj, SGS Health1 Gandhinagar, Health1 Vastral and Unity Health1 Modasa.
Can I get a second opinion before brain or spine surgery?
Yes, and we would encourage it for any major elective procedure. Bring your imaging with films or a disc and any prior surgical advice.
What are the warning signs that back pain needs urgent review?
Progressive weakness in the legs, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss with pain, or severe pain at night unrelieved by rest.
