Dr. Atma Ram Bansal

Dr. Atma Ram Bansal is a senior neurologist and epilepsy specialist based at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram, one of India's most respected multi-specialty hospitals. He serves as Director of the Department of Neurology and Neurosciences — a role that reflects both his clinical depth and his leadership in building one of the country's most comprehensive epilepsy care programmes. Over 14 years of practice, he has developed a particular expertise in complex seizure disorders, including cases where multiple medications have not brought relief.

Dr. Bansal's advanced training took him to the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology (SCTIMST) in Trivandrum, where he completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Epilepsy. SCTIMST is widely regarded as one of India's foremost centres for epilepsy research and treatment. There, he gained hands-on experience in long-term video-EEG monitoring and the detailed pre-surgical evaluation of patients with difficult-to-control epilepsy — skills he continues to use every day at Medanta. He has gone on to author more than 50 published research papers and two books focused on epilepsy, and is a Founder Member of the National Epilepsy Surgery Support Association Network (NESSAN).

Patients and families often describe Dr. Bansal as someone who takes time to truly understand their situation. Whether someone is living with frequent seizures, recovering from a stroke, or managing years of chronic migraines, he approaches each case methodically and with genuine care. He believes strongly in supporting patients beyond the clinic — he has been instrumental in building epilepsy support groups that help families navigate the emotional and practical sides of living with neurological conditions.

For international patients, choosing the right neurologist in a new country can feel overwhelming. Dr. Bansal's combination of specialist fellowship training, broad clinical experience, a strong research background, and a compassionate bedside manner makes him a trusted choice.
