Dr. Jagadish B Agadi — Professor and Head of Department of Neurology in Bengaluru

Dr. Jagadish B Agadi is Professor and Head of the Department of Neurology at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, with more than 33 years of experience.

Stroke accounts for four separate entries on his clinical list, which is where the weight of the practice lies: acute ischemic stroke management, hemorrhagic stroke management, stroke prevention and secondary care, and post-stroke neurological care. The list therefore follows a stroke patient from the emergency presentation through to prevention of the next event. Epilepsy is the second strand, covering epilepsy management, seizure disorder management and drug-resistant epilepsy. Parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonism, dystonia, tremor disorders and neuropathic pain management complete it.

EEG is the recorded investigation. IV thrombolysis is the acute stroke treatment, and deep brain stimulation and botulinum toxin therapy the movement disorder procedures.

His qualifications are MBBS, MD in internal medicine, DNB, DM in neurology and FRCP as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, together with a fellowship in neurology and neurophysiology taken in the UK and the USA. That overseas fellowship, covering neurophysiology as well as neurology, is what sits behind the EEG and epilepsy side of the record.

His recognitions include a place among the top 50 neurologists in India under the Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award, the Best Physician Award at the 13th World Congress, and a nomination from the Pare Physicians' Welfare at the 13th World Award. He has presented at national and international conferences and published in neurology and neurosciences.
