Since August 2015, I have been serving as a Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi.
In addition to my role at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, I also had the opportunity to work as a Consultant Neurosurgeon at Tirath Ram Shah Hospital, Delhi, Chikitsa Noida Medical Centre, and Apollo Hospital, Noida.
