About Dr. Prashant Makhija
Dr. Prashant Makhija is a Consultant Neurologist based in South Mumbai, practicing at Wockhardt Hospitals across the Mumbai Central and South Mumbai locations. With more than ten years of focused experience in neurology, he has built a reputation for managing a wide range of neurological conditions — from acute stroke care and epilepsy to movement disorders and memory-related illnesses. Over the course of his career, he has treated over 10,000 patients, a testament to the trust families place in his clinical judgment and his calm, thoughtful approach to care.
Dr. Makhija's training reflects a rigorous academic path through neurology. He completed his MBBS and then pursued an MD in General Medicine before earning a DM in Neurology — the highest super-specialty qualification in the field. He has also obtained certification as a Sleep Disorders Specialist, which adds a meaningful dimension to his practice given how closely sleep health is intertwined with neurological wellbeing.
Patients and families often describe Dr. Makhija as someone who takes time to explain — not just the diagnosis, but what it means for daily life and what the road ahead looks like. Whether he is guiding someone through a new epilepsy diagnosis, supporting a stroke survivor during recovery, or helping a family navigate the realities of Parkinson's or dementia, his approach is grounded, honest, and human. He understands that neurological conditions can be frightening, and he makes it a point to ensure that patients never feel alone in the process.
For international patients considering neurological treatment in India, Dr. Makhija offers a compelling combination of specialist training, broad clinical experience, and clear communication. His practice at Wockhardt Hospital — one of Mumbai's well-regarded tertiary care networks — means patients have access to modern diagnostic and treatment infrastructure alongside personalised medical attention. Gaf Healthcare is proud to facilitate consultations with Dr. Makhija for patients travelling from across the globe.
