Dr. Neelesh Tiwari

Founder & Managing Director - World Brain Center Hospital

M.D. ( Neuropsychiatry )
Ex. KGMU, Ex. RML Hospital 
Ex. IHBAS 

Dr. Neelesh Tiwari, Founder of World Brain Center Hospital, established the institution with a vision to make mental healthcare and neurological services more accessible and to promote timely, appropriate clinical assessment.

The inspiration behind this vision came from the tragic loss of a patient named Mahesh, whose experience highlighted the difficulties families may face when deciding whether to consult a neurologist, neurosurgeon or psychiatrist. The delay in identifying the appropriate specialist underscored the importance of greater awareness, timely medical guidance and access to appropriate care.

This experience strengthened Dr. Tiwari’s resolve to develop a healthcare institution focused on understanding patients’ needs, facilitating appropriate clinical evaluation and helping individuals and families navigate their healthcare journey with greater clarity and confidence.
