About Dr. Hamza Shaikh
Dr. Hamza Shaikh has been in spine surgery for fifteen years and has already done or assisted in over fifteen hundred spine procedures during his exclusive training at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, before moving to Delhi. He deals with straightforward microdiscectomies to really demanding scoliosis corrections where the entire spine needs realignment using rods and screws.
Dr. Hamza does both open and minimally invasive spine surgeries, depending on what the problem actually needs. He also does advanced spinal fusions, like PLIF and TLIF, for unstable segments. Puts in artificial discs to preserve movement instead of fusing everything solid. Got his FNB in Spine Surgery from Manipal Bangalore and completed the ISKSAA Travelling Fellowship in arthroscopy and arthroplasty.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Shaikh doesn’t rush people toward surgery when injections or pain management techniques still have a fair shot at fixing things. Patients with scoliosis appreciate that he explains growth rod mechanics simply. People who got an endoscopic discectomy say they walked the same day and couldn’t believe how small the wound was compared to what they imagined spine surgery looked like.
