About Dr. V Poornam Naveena
Dr. V Poornam Naveena is a dedicated neurologist based in Chennai, currently serving as Associate Consultant in the Neurology department at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai. Over a career spanning more than 15 years — from her early medical training through to senior clinical practice — she has built a reputation for thoughtful, thorough care in some of the most complex areas of neurology. Her clinical work covers stroke management, epilepsy, headache disorders, movement disorders, and neurocritical care, among others.
Dr. Naveena completed her MBBS at Melmaruvathur Adhiparashakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research before going on to pursue her MD in General Medicine at the prestigious Stanley Medical College and Hospital in Chennai. She then specialized further, earning her DM in Neurology from Govt. Chengalpattu Medical College and Hospital. This step-by-step training across well-established institutions gave her a grounded foundation in both broad medicine and the nuances of super-specialty neurology.
Patients and families often speak of Dr. Naveena's calm, patient-first approach. She takes the time to explain diagnoses and treatment plans clearly, making even complicated neurological conditions feel manageable. She is deeply committed to multidisciplinary care — working closely with colleagues across specialties to make sure each patient receives well-rounded, coordinated support. She also remains actively engaged in academic teaching and continuing medical education, which keeps her practice current with the latest developments in the field.
For international patients coming to India for neurological care, Dr. Naveena is a reassuring choice. She is fluent in English, Tamil, and Hindi, so communication is rarely a barrier. At Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai — a hospital known for its international-standard facilities — she brings together clinical depth and genuine compassion. GAF Healthcare works directly with her team to help overseas patients arrange consultations, plan their travel, and feel supported throughout their care journey.
