About Dr. Puneet Agarwal

Dr. Puneet Agarwal is a senior neurologist and Vice Chairman of Neurology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, with over 28 years of clinical experience. He is widely respected for his work in stroke management, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and complex movement disorders. Over the course of his career, he has built a reputation for combining deep clinical knowledge with a patient-centred approach — taking time to explain diagnoses clearly and working closely with families throughout the treatment journey.

Dr. Agarwal's training reflects a genuine commitment to staying at the forefront of neurology. He completed his DM in Neurology at G.B. Pant Hospital, Delhi, where he secured first rank. He then pursued advanced fellowships in Critical Care Neurology and Stroke at UCLA and Sentara Hospital in the USA, and trained in Sonothrombolysis, TCD, Carotid Doppler, and Sleep Studies at the National University Hospital in Singapore. He also received specialised training in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Parkinson's Disease management, and Botulinum Toxin injections through fellowships in Spain and Amsterdam. This international exposure has shaped a practice that reflects global standards of neurological care.

Among his notable contributions, Dr. Agarwal is recognised as one of the first physicians in India to conduct Inflammatory Genes studies in stroke patients, and he pioneered the use of IV Valproate in conference settings — reflecting his ongoing interest in research and evidence-based innovation. Patients who come to him often describe the experience as reassuring: he listens carefully, explains their condition in plain language, and builds a treatment plan that makes sense for their specific situation.

For international patients considering neurological care in India, Dr. Agarwal represents a trusted choice. His training spans India, the United States, Singapore, and Europe, and his practice at Max Saket — one of India's leading tertiary hospitals — gives patients access to advanced diagnostics and multidisciplinary support. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team to help overseas patients with appointments, medical records coordination, and end-to-end care logistics.
