If you live in Chandigarh, Panchkula is practically next door. Dr. Gaurav Sharma, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon, sees patients at two OPDs in Panchkula: Advaith Brain & Spine Clinic in Sector 21 and Paras Health - Panchkula in Sector 22. For most people in the city that is a short drive, which makes the first consultation, the review of scans and the follow-ups that neurosurgical care usually needs much easier to manage.
People from Chandigarh usually come to a neurosurgeon for one of a few reasons: back or neck pain that has started going down the leg or arm, an MRI report that mentions a disc prolapse or a tumour, a family member with a head injury or a brain bleed, or simply to get a second opinion before agreeing to surgery.
Slip disc and sciatica, cervical spondylosis, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Long hours at a desk and in traffic are part of daily life for many people in the city, and neck and lower back problems are among the most common reasons for a visit. Most of these settle with medicines, physiotherapy and changes in routine. When they don't, endoscopic spine surgery or minimally invasive spine surgery may be an option.
Brain tumours such as meningioma, glioma and pituitary tumours, aneurysms, bleeding in the brain, and conditions that need skull base or endoscopic surgery. Read more about brain tumour surgery.
Injuries after road accidents or falls need quick assessment at a hospital with neurosurgical and critical care support. In an emergency, go to the nearest emergency department first.
Both OPDs are a short drive from most Chandigarh sectors. From Manimajra and the northern and eastern sectors, the clinic in Sector 21 is usually around 15 to 25 minutes away; from the southern sectors it can take longer at peak hours. Paras Health - Panchkula is near Nada Sahib Gurudwara in Sector 22. Check Google Maps for traffic before you leave, and call +91-9780703819 to confirm the OPD timing.
Many patients who come to the OPD have already been seen at another hospital in the city. That is completely fine. If you have been advised surgery and want to be sure, bring your MRI or CT films, the reports and the written advice. The findings are reviewed with you, and you will be told plainly whether surgery is needed now, can wait, or is not needed at all.
