About Dr. Kshitiz Nigam
Neurosurgeon in Indore. MCh from Pune, faculty at Sion Hospital, Mumbai, and now teaching neurosurgery in Indore.
Dr. Kshitiz Apoorva Nigam treats conditions of the brain, spine and nerves, from slip disc and sciatica to brain tumours, hydrocephalus and head injuries.
His approach is simple: explain the problem clearly, in the patient's own language, and be honest about when surgery will help and when it will not. Many patients who come expecting an operation are better served by medicines, physiotherapy and time.
