Dr. Mohammed Imran

About Dr. Imran

Dr. Mohammed Imran holds an MBBS, an MS in General Surgery and an MCh in Neurosurgery, all from Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad. He was awarded the Prof MRC Naidu gold medal by Dr NTR University of Health Sciences as the best outgoing MCh Neurosurgery student. He is an International Fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and holds fellowships in biportal endoscopic spine surgery from Busan, South Korea, and in neuroendoscopy.

He is Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon at CARE Hospitals, Nampally, and sees patients at Caspian Healthcare Monday to Saturday from 4 to 5 pm. He also comes to the bedside for patients admitted here.

Most back and neck pain, and most vertigo, gets better without an operation. The first job is to find out which kind you have, using the examination and the right scan, and to treat it. Surgery is discussed only when the scan and your symptoms both point to it.

He has published in neurosurgical journals and contributed to international research, including the Global Neurotrauma Outcomes Study and the AO Spine fracture classification projects.

Outside his hour a primary care physician is on site, including through the night, and will see you, start treatment, and speak to Dr. Imran if your case needs it. Sudden weakness, a drooping face or slurred speech is a stroke until proved otherwise: call 108 and go to a hospital with a CT scanner, not to a clinic. The laboratory and the pharmacy are in the same building and run 24 hours.
