About Dr. Amitabh Goel
After completing neurosurgery training at SGPGI, Lucknow, he has worked at various major hospitals in the NCR. He has dedicated himself to neuroendoscopy and minimal spine surgeries. This is because small incisions mean less pain and a quicker recovery than traditional open surgeries, which leave larger scars.
He has been practising neuroendoscopy since the late 1990s and has stuck to it. He was one of the first neurosurgeons in North India to demonstrate endoscopic pituitary tumour removal at an international conference. He has also taught many other neurosurgeons in the field of neuroendoscopy through lectures and workshops. He believes in techniques that involve less damage to the body. When the body is already suffering from nerve pain and brain problems, a large cut can prolong the healing process.

Patient Experience & Approach
He listens when you describe pain, weakness, numbness, or whatever’s going on. Knowing how it affects your daily life helps him figure out treatment. He explains scans and reports without burying you in medical terms so families can actually follow what’s being said.
He also gives importance to follow-ups and rehab after surgery. Brain and spine recovery doesn’t happen fast. It needs regular check-ins and physio to get you working right again.
