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.
