Dr. Shiva Kumar H R — Consultant in Bengaluru

Dr. Shiva Kumar H R is a Consultant in Neurology at Gleneagles Hospitals in Bengaluru, practising at the BGS Gleneagles site in Kengeri, with more than 10 years of experience.

His diagnostic range is the distinguishing part of the record. Four tests are listed where most profiles name one or two: EEG, nerve conduction studies, electromyography and evoked potentials. That range matches his certification in EEG and EMG analysis from the American Academy of Neurology, and it explains the shape of the clinical list, which leans towards conditions identified by those tests.

Nerve and muscle conditions are well represented: myasthenia gravis, motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetic neuropathy. Epilepsy treatment and drug-resistant epilepsy, stroke treatment and recovery, dystonia, tremor disorders and migraine with chronic headache complete the list. For treatment he records IV thrombolysis, deep brain stimulation, botulinum toxin therapy, IVIG and migraine nerve block.

His degrees were all taken in the south. MBBS came from Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, MD in general medicine from Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, and DM in neurology from Government Medical College in Calicut.

Two results mark that route. He took first rank in the All India NEET super speciality neurology examination, the entrance test for the DM, and left Calicut as best outgoing student of the DM neurology program. To top the entrance examination and then the course itself is an uncommon pairing, and it is consistent with a profile whose emphasis is on precise diagnosis. He has published in national and international journals.
