Overview

As a dedicated neurologist with a specialization in general and vascular neurology, I primarily treat patients suffering from stroke. Due to the preventable nature of stroke, I strive to focus on the stroke etiology. My work includes participation in innovative clinical trials primarily on stroke identification and later rehabilitation, allowing me to bring the latest treatments to my patients. My decision to pursue neurology was driven by a fascination with the intricacies of the human brain and a desire to provide tangible relief to those affected by neurological disorders. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy people and nature photography.

Dr. Shekhar is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Stroke, Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), and Aortic Valve Replacement.

He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 303 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial.
