About Prof. Dr. Rupam Borgohain

Prof. Dr. Rupam Borgohain is one of India's most experienced neurologists, with a career spanning more than four decades dedicated to understanding and treating complex disorders of the nervous system. Based at Yashoda Hospitals in Hyderabad's Hi-Tech City, he serves as Senior Consultant Neurologist and Programme Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Research Centre (PDMDRC). His work centres on conditions like Parkinson's disease, dystonia, tremor disorders, and atypical Parkinsonism — areas where precise diagnosis and personalised care can make a profound difference to a patient's everyday life.

Dr. Borgohain completed his MBBS from Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, followed by an internship at Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi — a large national referral centre that gave him early exposure to the full breadth of neurological illness. He then earned his D.M. in Neurology from NIMHANS, Bangalore in 1991, one of India's most respected institutes for brain and nervous system medicine. That rigorous academic foundation, combined with decades of hands-on clinical practice, has shaped the measured, evidence-driven approach he is known for today.

Patients and families often describe Dr. Borgohain as a doctor who listens carefully before reaching for a diagnosis. He takes time to explain what is happening in the brain in plain, unhurried language — something that matters enormously when a family is navigating the uncertainty of a movement disorder or a new neurological diagnosis. His special interests include Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Botulinum toxin therapy, advanced interventions that can restore meaningful function and quality of life when managed by the right hands.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Borgohain represents a compelling combination of world-class training, institutional depth, and genuine clinical experience. His active memberships in the Movement Disorder Society, the Indian Academy of Neurology, and the Neurological Society of India reflect a commitment to staying current in a rapidly evolving field. Through Gaf Healthcare, overseas patients can access his expertise with full support for appointments, travel, and care coordination.
