Hospital discovery · Neurology
Review 4 validated Neurology hospitals, 11 affiliated neurologists and 7 mapped neurology services in Chennai, India.
“Best” reflects the hospital-discovery search phrase. Hospitals are ordered alphabetically and are not clinically ranked, scored or endorsed.
Quick answer
Neurology diagnoses and manages disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles using clinical examination, imaging, electrophysiology and disease-specific treatment. The pathway depends on onset, neurological pattern, urgency, test validity, functional impact and whether a procedural or surgical opinion is needed. This Chennai page is limited to hospitals with a listed neurologist relationship.
4 validated hospital relationships currently match Neurology in Chennai, including Apollo Hospital, Chennai, Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai, MGM Healthcare, Chennai, Rela Hospital. Counts require a matching hospital specialty and affiliated neurologist; they are not rankings or claims about outcomes.
7 neurology services have validated hospital and doctor relationships in Chennai, including Deep Brain Stimulation, EEG, Nerve Conduction Study, Evoked Potentials, IV Thrombolysis, Botulinum Toxin Therapy, Migraine Nerve Block. Open a procedure page for the exact hospitals and doctors connected to that procedure.

City context
Chennai has a broader neurosurgery ecosystem, but this page does not infer that every listed centre performs stroke thrombectomy. Confirm a 24-hour stroke thrombectomy rota; a scheduled craniotomy list is not this product. Doctor and hospital cards in Chennai resolve only from exact live CMS relationships for Stroke Thrombectomy. If that relationship is absent, cards must remain empty; a generic neurosurgery or hospital label cannot verify current case acceptance. This is a catalog gap, not a ranking or availability claim.

Confirm the exact campus, lead clinician, implant or corridor assumptions, ICU plan and handover in writing. General accreditation does not establish current capability or outcomes.
Send neurosurgery notes, relevant MRI or CT, angiography or EEG and the current medicine list before travel to Chennai.
Obtain written acceptance from a named neurovascular interventional specialist. Confirm neuro-ICU, imaging and emergency CSF-leak, seizure or bleed backup.
Chennai International Airport: Several neurosurgery campuses have comparatively direct airport access, but heat and travel after craniotomy or shunt surgery still require a planned vehicle and companion. Heat can worsen dehydration and headache after intracranial surgery or a new shunt. Fluid and activity targets must come from the treating team.
Chennai International Airport: Some clinical corridors have direct airport access, but heat and travel after sedation, lumbar puncture, infusion or prolonged monitoring still require a planned vehicle and companion. Heat can aggravate dehydration and post-procedure fatigue; individualized fluid advice takes priority over generic travel guidance.
Treatment guides
Deep brain stimulation implants electrodes in a selected brain target and connects them to a pulse generator so Parkinson disease, tremor or dystonia can be modulated after a named functional-neurosurgery review. Electrodes are placed with stereotactic guidance, sometimes with microelectrode recording or asleep imaging confirmation. Leads are tunnelled to a chest or abdominal pulse generator. Programming starts after swelling settles.
A routine EEG is an outpatient recording of electrical activity from scalp electrodes, usually during wakefulness and brief drowsiness. A technologist measures the scalp, applies surface electrodes, checks impedance and records background activity with activation procedures; a qualified clinician interprets the trace.
A Nerve Conduction Study uses surface electrodes and brief electrical stimulation to measure sensory and motor nerve responses. Surface electrodes stimulate and record along selected nerves; the clinician compares response latency, amplitude, conduction velocity and side-to-side patterns.
Evoked potentials record nervous-system responses to controlled visual, auditory or somatosensory stimuli and assess conduction along specific pathways. Scalp and peripheral electrodes average small responses to repeated pattern-reversal visual, click auditory or electrical somatosensory stimulation.
IV thrombolysis gives alteplase or tenecteplase to an eligible patient with hyperacute ischaemic stroke after immediate imaging excludes haemorrhage. After consent appropriate to the emergency, weight-based alteplase infusion or protocol-specific tenecteplase bolus is administered with close neurological and blood-pressure monitoring.
Botulinum toxin therapy uses targeted intramuscular or pericranial injections to reduce excessive neuromuscular activity in defined neurological conditions. A clinician injects a named toxin into protocol-specific muscles or pericranial sites, sometimes using EMG or ultrasound guidance; effect develops over days and later wears off.
A migraine nerve block injects local anaesthetic, sometimes with an additional agent, around selected occipital or pericranial nerves to interrupt pain signalling. After skin preparation, a small volume is injected near the greater or lesser occipital or another selected pericranial nerve using landmarks or ultrasound when indicated.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
★★★★★
Wonderful experience with Gaf Healthcare. I was quite hesitant before traveling. But the way entire journey has been planned, charted out and facilitated by Gaf was truly exceptional. Dr. Ritu in Max has treated me well. My eye surgery went well.
