Dr. Rakesh Agarwal

Dr. Rakesh Agarwal is one of India's most seasoned neurologists, bringing over four decades of clinical experience to his role as Senior Consultant in Neurology at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi. He is trained in both neurology and the broader neurosciences, and his practice spans a wide range of conditions — from stroke and epilepsy to complex movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and tremor.

His qualifications include an MBBS, an MD, and the DABPN — the Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology — a credential that reflects a rigorous standard of specialist training recognised internationally. This dual grounding in Indian and American board-level neurology has shaped his approach: evidence-based, thorough, and always focused on what genuinely helps the patient.

Patients and families often describe Dr. Agarwal as someone who takes time to explain things clearly. Whether he is guiding a family through the early days after a stroke or working with someone who has lived with drug-resistant epilepsy for years, he is known for his patience and his ability to make complex neurological concepts feel approachable. That quality matters enormously when families are anxious and looking for clarity.

International patients choose Dr. Agarwal because his credentials and experience translate across borders. Apollo Hospital's infrastructure, combined with his depth of expertise in areas like endovascular stroke intervention, neuropathic pain, and neuro-rehabilitation, means patients can access world-class neurological care in New Delhi — often at a fraction of the cost they would face elsewhere. GAF Healthcare can help you reach his team with ease, from your first enquiry to your consultation and beyond.
