Dr.Suranjana Basak.
A neurologist who reads the nervous system the way an editor reads a manuscript — closely, charitably, and with a structural sense of what to keep, what to remove, and what was never the problem to begin with.
A clinician trained twice over — first in internal medicine, then in neurology.
Dr. Basak's path to neurology was unusually deliberate — through the long door of internal medicine, with a year as Chief Consultant at a COVID-19 ICU in Vashi between 2020 and 2021, and a diploma in advanced diabetes care from the Royal College of Physicians, London.
That breadth shows in how she practices. A migraine workup will, on its own initiative, surface a thyroid issue. A movement disorder consult might begin with a careful review of metabolic markers. The instinct is structural: the brain is not an organ in isolation, and the neurologist who understands this catches more, earlier.
She manages stroke, epilepsy, headache and migraine, vertigo, movement disorders, peripheral neuropathies, cognitive decline, and autoimmune neurological disease. The work is informed by a strong academic spine — textbook contributions, peer-reviewed papers, and a 2024 award from the Indian Academy of Neurology for original research in autoimmune neurology.
Patients describe her practice in language she would probably not use about herself. She listens. She does not over-prescribe. She explains the diagnosis until it is understood. The work is consistent with what her training suggests: an evidence-led neurologist with a deliberate, lifestyle-integrated approach to long-term brain and nerve health.
She practices at Medicover Hospitals in Kharghar (Mon–Sat, 9 AM–5 PM) and consults across a network of clinics in Kopar Khairane, Airoli, and Vashi. International consultations are accepted for second opinions and case review.
The short version, for those who want it: a neurologist who reads carefully, prescribes sparingly, and writes in the textbooks her colleagues teach from.
Conditions managed under structured neurological care.

In their own words.
Knowledgeable, warm, approachable. Explains and guides you throughout. Best Doctor and wonderful person. With all my complications — RA, diabetes, and other issues — she is always there to help me out of my pain.
Does not recommend any unnecessary medicines to the patients, which is a rare quality you find these days in any doctor. One of the best doctors with good knowledge of the line of treatment, I've ever met.
Excellent care from Dr. Suranjana. Professional, attentive, and very kind. I am so grateful for the help with my vertigo. Five stars.
Patiently listens to health concerns and gives more lifestyle-based remedies along with a few medicines. Excellent doctor.
