About

Dr Chandril Chugh is a US- trained neurologist, specializing in minimally invasive brain procedures with 16 years of experience. He is skilled in endovascular surgical neuroradiology, a coveted medical super-specialty that has revolutionized patient care by eliminating the need for open brain surgery.

Dr Chugh believes that doctor’s role is not limited to  treating sick patients. A doctor has much more to offer to the society in terms of promoting wellness, healthy habits, awareness about mental health, dealing with death and disability. A doctor, having been through the tough and exhaustive grind of academics, professional practice and emotional turmoils of the diseased and their families can be a guide to people in dealing with hardships of life and motivate them to have a new beginning every day. A doctor can teach the balance between work, life and the living. As doctors we need to evolve into a new breed of experts who are not just care providers for the sick rather life coaches for the people around them as well.

Dr Chugh completed his MBBS degree from the University College of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, where he graduated as a Gold Medalist. Later, he shifted to the USA and trained at the Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. Afterwards, he moved to the University of Pennsylvania for further specialization in Neurocritical Care, followed by training in Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology at Texas Stroke Institute in Texas, USA. After more than a decade long stint in the US, he moved back to India. At present he practices at Max Hospital, Saket as Head of Department of Interventional Neurology.

While not practicing medicine, Dr Chugh is fond of reading books and contemplating how he can be of use to people.
