    Overview

  • Dr. Swathy Surendran Nair is a highly skilled neurologist in Bangalore. She’s currently practising as a Consultant - Neurology at Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, with dedicated sub-specialisation in Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders, backed by advanced post-doctoral training from NIMHANS, India’s apex centre for neurosciences. With a rare combination of clinical expertise, academic excellence, and hands-on training in complex neurophysiological procedures, she offers comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care for a wide spectrum of neurological and movement disorder conditions.

  • Dr. Swathy completed her Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Movement Disorders at NIMHANS, where she received intensive training in advanced Parkinson’s disease management, dystonia, tremor syndromes, ataxias, myoclonus, and chorea. Her work involves evaluating and selecting suitable candidates for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), participating in intraoperative neurophysiology, and conducting post-operative DBS programming, enabling long-term optimisation of outcomes for patients with complex movement disorders. She is also highly proficient in botulinum toxin therapy, treating conditions such as hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, cervical dystonia, limb dystonia, and focal spasticity.

  • Her academic foundation is equally robust, holding a DM in Neurology from Bangalore Medical College & Research Institute, where she secured Rank 4 under RGUHS, along with an MD in General Medicine and an MBBS from the Government Medical College network in Kerala. Her training across reputed institutions has shaped her into a well-rounded neurologist capable of managing a diverse range of neurological diseases, including stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, demyelinating diseases, autoimmune neurological syndromes, and headache disorders. She is additionally trained in EEG, EMG/NCS, and neuroimaging interpretation, enabling a comprehensive clinical approach.

  • Throughout her career, Dr. Swathy has remained deeply committed to academic medicine, mentoring trainees, conducting workshops, and contributing to national and international neurology conferences. Her research work includes original studies, rare case documentation, and poster presentations presented at prestigious platforms such as AOPMC (Tokyo), MDSICON, IANCON, and the Hunter's Parkinson’s Society Meeting (Australia). She has showcased complex cases involving dystonia, DBS outcomes, congenital ataxia, atypical Parkinsonism, leukodystrophy, and other rare neurological disorders. Her manuscript on optimising Parkinson’s disease pharmacotherapy is currently under peer review in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences.

  • Dr. Swathy is an active member of leading neurological associations, including the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS), the Movement Disorder Society of India, the Indian Academy of Neurology, and the Indian Medical Association. Her continued involvement in these communities reflects her dedication to staying at the forefront of neurological advancements and contributing meaningfully to the field. Fluent in English, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, she ensures clear communication and continuity of care for patients from diverse backgrounds. Her philosophy emphasises precise diagnosis, personalised treatment planning, and long-term neurological well-being through a combination of medical therapy, interventional procedures, rehabilitation strategies, and caregiver support. With specialised training in movement disorders, advanced DBS expertise, and extensive clinical experience across tertiary neuroscience centres, Dr. Swathy Surendran Nair stands as a trusted neurologist committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and contemporary neurological care tailored to each patient’s needs.
