Neurosurgery (Brain & Spine Surgery), Neuro-Oncology
Dr. Ravi Bhatia’s journey in neurosurgery began at the most prestigious institutions, and he has spent over half a century at the forefront of surgical innovation.
Pioneering Leadership: Before joining the Apollo Group, Dr. Bhatia served as the Professor and Head of the Department of Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. His tenure at AIIMS (1974–1994) was instrumental in establishing the high standards of neurosurgical training that India is known for today.
International Expertise: His surgical precision was honed through advanced global training. He received specialized training in Oslo, Norway, under world-renowned experts like Prof. Kristian Kristiansen (Neurosurgery), Prof. Ansgar Torvik (Neuropathology), and Prof. Lars Leksell (Stereotactic Surgery). This international exposure allows him to offer a blend of Western technical rigor and vast Indian clinical experience.
A Master Mentor: As a legendary academician, Dr. Bhatia has mentored hundreds of neurosurgeons who now lead premier departments across the globe. He is frequently invited as a visiting lecturer at neurosurgical centers in the UK, USA, and Norway.
Patient Philosophy: Beyond his surgical accolades, patients know Dr. Bhatia for his profound humility and empathy. He is famous for his ability to explain complex neurological conditions in simple, comforting terms, often using detailed diagrams to ensure patients and their families are fully informed and at ease.
