Dr. Harish Chandra L S is one of India’s most distinctively qualified Paediatric Neurosurgeons, practising at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai. His credential profile is exceptional by any global standard, MCh (Neurosurgery), FRCS (Neurosurgery) from the Royal College of Surgeons, a Fellowship in Paediatric Neurosurgery trained across both the United Kingdom and Israel, and an additional Fellowship in Functional Neurosurgery from the UK. This combination of British and Israeli fellowship training places him among a very select group of paediatric neurosurgeons in India with truly international subspecialty expertise.
The FRCS (Neurosurgery) is one of the most rigorous surgical qualifications in the world, awarded by the Royal College of Surgeons and requiring demonstrated mastery of neurosurgical knowledge and operative competence assessed against UK standards. Dr. Harish Chandra’s Paediatric Neurosurgery fellowship across two internationally renowned centres, in the UK and Israel, further refines this expertise specifically to the surgical management of children’s brain and spine conditions. His additional Fellowship in Functional Neurosurgery reflects advanced training in procedures such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), a highly specialised intervention used for movement disorders and treatment-resistant epilepsy, a skill possessed by very few neurosurgeons in India.
For families across Chennai and South India seeking expert neurosurgical evaluation for a child — whether for epilepsy surgery, a brain tumour, hydrocephalus, a congenital brain anomaly, or a complex movement disorder requiring DBS, Dr. Harish Chandra L S at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals represents access to internationally trained, subspecialty-level paediatric neurosurgical care. Consultations are available by prior appointment.
Paediatric Neurosurgery
Comprehensive surgical management of all brain, spine, and nervous system conditions in children from neonates to adolescents, including congenital anomalies, hydrocephalus, brain tumours, spinal dysraphism, craniosynostosis, and neurotrauma, using microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques refined through UK and Israeli fellowship training.
Epilepsy Surgery
Surgical evaluation and treatment of children with drug-resistant epilepsy is one of the most complex and rewarding areas of paediatric neurosurgery. Dr. Harish Chandra’s functional neurosurgery fellowship equips him to perform resective epilepsy surgery, corpus callosotomy, hemispherotomy, and neuromodulation procedures, offering hope to children and families where medications have failed to control seizures.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Advanced neuromodulation using Deep Brain Stimulation — a highly specialised surgical technique involving the implantation of electrodes in precise brain targets to modulate abnormal neurological activity. Dr. Harish Chandra’s Fellowship in Functional Neurosurgery (UK) certifies his expertise in DBS for conditions including dystonia, treatment-resistant epilepsy, and movement disorders in children — a capability available at very few centres in India.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the NICU Team at Dr. Mehta's Hospital, Chetpet There are moments in life when words feel too small for the gratitude you carry — this is one of those moments for our family. Our premature twin boys were held in the loving care of the NICU team. Ours was a journey that carried both joy and heartbreak — one of our precious sons became our angel along the way, and he remains forever in our hearts. Through it all, Dr. Arun Krishnan and the duty doctors — Dr. Sumanth, Dr. Parthiban, Dr. Avishek, Dr. Vijay, Dr. Aarthi, and Dr. Punitha — surrounded our boys with such tenderness, skill, and honesty. Our heartfelt thanks also to the staff nurses who cared for them like their own — Juliana, Beena Saji, Chithra, Shanmuga, Riya, Preethi, Roshini, Anju, Hemavathi, Sowbakiya, Soundarya, Agasri, Priyanka, Yogalakshmi, Deepika, and Lissa — and to the many other hands and hearts whose names we may not have caught, but whose faces and kindness we will never forget. It is because of their unwavering care that we brought our son home, safe and thriving. We are deeply, forever grateful to this team. Thank you for giving our son his first, hardest-won victory — and for giving us back our peace.Posted on Google Saravanan VidhyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
