Professional Profile
After completing my postgraduate training in Chennai, India, I travelled to the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom for further training in microneurosurgery, and spinal neurosurgery using microscopic techniques. I obtained my Fellowship in Neurosurgery from Edinburgh, UK.
