About Dr. Rajesh Reddy Sannareddy
Dr. Rajesh Reddy Sannareddy is one of India's most comprehensively trained neurosurgeons — a rare specialist who bridges three distinct disciplines under one roof: microsurgical brain and spine surgery, minimally invasive endoscopic neurosurgery, and interventional neuroradiology (endovascular surgery).
His academic credentials are among the strongest in Indian neurosurgery: Gold Medalist at JIPMER, Pondicherry – one of India's premier medical institutions – and Overall Examination Topper at NIMS, Hyderabad for his MCh in Neurosurgery. He holds Double Board Certification in Neurosurgery (MCh + DNB), and his Fellowship in Interventional Neuroradiology (FINR) from the University Hospital (Zurich) placed him at one of Europe's most respected cerebrovascular centres.
He has further refined his surgical technique and international perspective through Visiting Scholar programmes at Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix (USA), Okayama University (Japan), and Klinikum Stuttgart (Germany). With over 5,000 procedures performed across a 25+ year career, he brings a depth of clinical experience that few neurosurgeons in the region can match.
