About Dr. Satishchandra P

Dr. Satishchandra P is one of India's most experienced neurologists, with a career spanning more than four decades. Based at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, he is a Senior Consultant in Neurology and is widely respected for his deep expertise in epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, and neuro-rehabilitation. Patients and families across India and abroad seek him out for conditions that are complex, long-standing, or have not responded well to earlier treatment.

His training is among the most rigorous in the field. Dr. Satishchandra holds an MD and a DM in Neurology, and has earned fellowship recognition from the Academy of Medical Sciences (FAMS), the Indian Academy of Neurology (FIAN), and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (FRCPE). A significant portion of his career was shaped by his tenure at NIMHANS — the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences in Bengaluru — one of the most respected neuroscience institutions in Asia.

Over the years, Dr. Satishchandra has built a reputation for being thorough and patient. Families often describe him as someone who takes the time to explain a difficult diagnosis in plain language, without rushing. Whether he is managing a child with drug-resistant epilepsy, guiding a stroke survivor through recovery, or helping a patient with Parkinson's maintain their quality of life, his approach combines clinical precision with genuine care.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Satishchandra represents exactly what Bengaluru's medical community is known for — world-class neurological expertise, fellowship-level credentials recognised globally, and a calm, experienced hand guiding every step of the journey. Gaf Healthcare is proud to help patients connect with him and navigate their care from consultation through to treatment and follow-up.
