Dr. Ravi Bhatia has been practicing neurosurgery for more than 61 years now, which puts his career among the longest in the field in India — one that basically spans its entire modern history. He practices out of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Sarita Vihar, Delhi, and honestly, having someone with this much clinical history in the room changes how a patient feels walking into a consultation. He completed his MBBS from AIIMS, New Delhi, followed by MS in general surgery from Delhi University, and then MCh in neurosurgery, again from AIIMS.
What’s worth mentioning is how much the field has evolved since he first started, and he’s been part of that evolution the whole way through — not just a witness to it. Dr. Ravi Bhatia handles a wide spread of neurological conditions, from cerebrovascular surgery and epilepsy to migraines, sleep disorders, seizures, stroke, head injuries, and Parkinson’s disease. That’s a lot of ground to cover well, and it usually takes decades to build the kind of judgment needed to handle such varied cases confidently. Beyond the technical side, he’s known for being genuinely compassionate with patients — taking time to explain things clearly and involving them in decisions about their own treatment, rather than just dictating a plan. Over the years, that approach has apparently meant a lot to the people he’s treated, based on how often it comes up when people talk about him.
