About Dr. Anurag Saxena
Dr. Anurag Saxena has twenty-three years of experience operating on brains and spines. He works on single-level disc cases to really demanding tumor resections near critical brain areas, where the patient needs to stay awake during surgery so the surgeon knows he’s not cutting into something that controls speech or movement.
Dr. Anurag won a gold medal during MBBS at MGM Medical College, Indore. But what really sets him apart is three separate UK fellowships — spine surgery at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, Preston, pediatric neurosurgery at Royal Liverpool Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, and senior clinical fellowship at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. That’s years of training in the British system across different neurosurgical subspecialties. Previously worked at Apollo Hospitals and Narayana Superspeciality Hospital.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Saxena explains where the tumor sits and why awake craniotomy is safer than regular surgery for certain brain locations. Parents of children with hydrocephalus mention that they discussed endoscopic options to avoid shunt dependency. His UK training across three different subspecialties shows in how comfortably he moves between adult brain cases, pediatric work, and complex spine surgery.
