Dr. Pankaj Agarwal

Dr. Pankaj Agarwal is one of India's most respected neurologists, with a particular focus on movement disorders — conditions like Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and tremor that affect how people move through their daily lives. Based at Gleneagles Hospital in Mumbai's Parel district, he serves as Director of Neurology, Stroke and Neuro Critical Care, bringing over 26 years of hands-on clinical experience to every patient he sees.

His training is both deep and broad. After completing his MBBS, MD in Internal Medicine, DM in Neurology, and DNB, Dr. Agarwal pursued an international fellowship in Movement Disorders — a step that shaped his clinical approach and connected him to global advances in the field. Early in his career, he trained and worked at institutions including KEM Hospital & Seth GS Medical College and Grant Medical College & Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, two of Mumbai's most storied teaching hospitals. He went on to establish the Movement Disorders Clinic and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) programme at Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, building structured protocols for patient selection, intra-operative monitoring, and post-operative device programming.

Patients and families often describe Dr. Agarwal as someone who takes the time to explain things clearly — whether that means walking through a new diagnosis, discussing the right moment to consider a procedure like DBS, or fine-tuning Botulinum toxin therapy for focal dystonia. He has nearly two decades of experience with EMG-guided Botox injections, a technique that demands precision and patience. His research has appeared in more than 30 national and international publications, including Lancet Neurology, and he is regularly recognised among Mumbai's leading neurologists for movement disorders.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Agarwal offers a rare combination: subspecialty depth in movement disorders, expertise in stroke and neuro-critical care, and the infrastructure of a modern, internationally accredited hospital. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team to coordinate appointments, medical records, and care planning — so your journey from inquiry to consultation is as smooth as possible.
