About Dr. Jagadish B Agadi
Dr. Jagadish B Agadi is one of India's most experienced neurologists, with over three decades of clinical practice dedicated to understanding and treating conditions of the brain and nervous system. He serves as Professor and Head of the Department of Neurology at Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru — a role that reflects both his clinical mastery and his lifelong commitment to teaching the next generation of neurologists. Patients and families know him for the calm, thorough way he works through even the most complicated cases, from drug-resistant epilepsy to rare movement disorders.
Dr. Agadi's training spans some of the most respected institutions in India and abroad. After completing his MBBS, MD in Internal Medicine, and DM in Neurology, he went on to earn a Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP) and pursued advanced fellowships in Neurology and Neurophysiology in both the UK and the USA. That international grounding gave him exposure to cutting-edge diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols that he has since brought back to his practice in India. Earlier in his career, he held academic positions at NIMHANS — one of the world's leading neurological institutes — as well as at SMS Medical College, where he served as Director Professor of Neurology.
What patients consistently appreciate about Dr. Agadi is his ability to translate complex neurological diagnoses into language a family can actually understand and act on. Whether someone is navigating a new stroke diagnosis, managing Parkinson's disease over the long term, or seeking answers after years of uncontrolled seizures, he approaches each case with patience and a structured plan. His expertise spans acute care, like ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke management, as well as long-term rehabilitation for movement disorders — making him a genuine partner across the full journey of care.
For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Agadi represents the kind of specialist who combines world-class training with deep, real-world experience. His dual grounding in global neurology standards and Indian clinical practice means patients receive care that is both internationally benchmarked and thoughtfully personalised. Gaf Healthcare is proud to help patients from across the world connect with Dr. Agadi and access his expertise at Apollo Hospitals Bengaluru.
