The clinic is led by Dr. Milind Deogaonkar, Director and Senior Consultant – Neurosurgery, Manipal Hospital Mukundapur and marks a significant advancement in neuro-restoration and neuromodulation, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to comprehensive, technology-driven and patient-centric neuroscience care. He is supported by Dr. Gourav Sannyasi, Consultant – Physiatrist (Rehabilitation Medicine), Manipal Hospital Mukundapur as part of the core team.

The DBS Clinic will function from the Mukundapur unit, with dedicated DBS services scheduled every Monday and a Complex Pain Clinic on Saturdays. Movement Disorder Clinics will be operational on all days to ensure uninterrupted access to specialised neurological care, with Dr. Shreyasi Jha attending full-day clinics on Mondays and Saturdays and participating in DBS procedures as required.
