I already have an opinion from another surgeon. Should I consult Dr. Agarwal for a second opinion?
Absolutely. In fact, for any major neurosurgical procedure, a second expert opinion is one of the most important things you can do. Bring your MRI/CT scans, pathology reports and the written opinion from the first surgeon. Dr. Agarwal will review them independently and give you an honest assessment — including whether the first opinion is, in his view, correct.
What should I bring or share before my consultation?
All recent MRI or CT scans (ideally the DICOM files, not just films), any previous neurology or neurosurgery opinions, a list of current medications, and a brief written timeline of your symptoms. You can email or WhatsApp these in advance so Dr. Agarwal can review them before your visit.
Do I need surgery, or could I manage this condition with medicine?
This depends entirely on your diagnosis. Many spinal conditions respond very well to physiotherapy and medication. Some brain tumours can be observed with serial imaging rather than operated on immediately. Dr. Agarwal's practice is grounded in the principle that surgery should only be recommended when its benefits clearly outweigh its risks for you specifically.
Is the surgery performed by Dr. Agarwal personally, or by his team?
Every surgery is performed by Dr. Agarwal personally, start to finish. A trained team assists with anaesthesia, monitoring and ancillary tasks — but the operating surgeon is always Dr. Agarwal. This continuity is one of the reasons patients consistently choose him.
How much does a neurosurgical procedure cost?
Costs vary widely by procedure, hospital, implants used and the complexity of the individual case. Before any surgery, you will receive a detailed written estimate covering the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, OT, ICU, implants and expected hospital stay. Insurance cashless assistance is available at most empanelled hospitals — the office will help you coordinate this.
Is this an emergency? When should I call immediately?
Call +91 8696 650 547 immediately if you or a family member has sudden severe headache ("worst headache of life"), sudden weakness or numbness on one side, sudden loss of vision or speech, seizure, confusion after a head injury, or loss of consciousness. These can be signs of stroke, aneurysm rupture or acute brain injury — and minutes matter.
Do you treat patients from outside Rajasthan and from abroad?
Yes. Roughly 30% of Dr. Agarwal's patients travel from other Indian states, and a growing number come from neighbouring countries, the Gulf and Africa. The office provides a coordinator for accommodation, medical-visa letters and airport pickup. See the International Patients page for details.
