A patient presenting with refractory epilepsy unresponsive to multiple antiepileptic medications was assessed and managed with Vagus Nerve Stimulation therapy, resulting in a greater than 50% reduction in seizure frequency and significant improvement in quality of life.

A patient with acute ischaemic stroke received prompt evaluation and evidence-based thrombolytic management, leading to near-complete neurological recovery within 90 days — consistent with published outcomes for timely stroke intervention.

• Accessible Follow-up: Patients appreciate her attentive post-consultation support and responsiveness during treatment.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Chonkar dedicates extended consultation time to ensure patients and their families thoroughly understand the neurological diagnosis, its implications, and all available treatment options. She adopts a shared decision-making model — presenting each treatment pathway with its expected benefits and risks before arriving at a plan the patient is comfortable with. Follow-up is proactive, with structured monitoring of treatment response and prompt management of any side effects.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Chonkar employs the full range of modern neurological diagnostic and therapeutic tools including advanced neuroimaging interpretation (MRI, CT, PET), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), Vagus Nerve Stimulation for refractory epilepsy, Gamma-Knife Radiosurgery evaluation, and minimally invasive spinal procedures including XLIF and Laminectomy. She collaborates within a multidisciplinary team to ensure integrated neurosurgical and neurological care.
