Mr Bhangoo is a Consultant Neurologist with specialist interest in brain tumours, radiosurgery (including CyberKnife) and adult spinal surgery.

Mr Bhangoo qualified Victor Ludorum from medical School with the Medical School Gold Medal and Honours. After his general surgical training (Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, England), his specialist training in neurosurgery was completed on the West Midlands neurosurgical rotation and he was awarded the Norman Dott Gold Medal in Neurosurgery on completion of his training as the highest ranked neurosurgical trainee in the United Kingdom. Following this, Mr Bhangoo spent one year studying both the medical and surgical treatments of brain tumours as well as undertaking research at one of Europe’s leading cancer institute – The Institute Gustauve Roussy, Paris, France.

In addition to his knowledge in all areas of cranial and spinal neurosurgery; including degenerative spine disease which incorporates the management of back and neck pain, arm pain and sciatica together with peripheral nerve disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, he has specialist expertise in the management of brain and spinal tumours. This includes the latest minimally invasive techniques for brain tumour removal as well as radiosurgery. He is one of the few neurosurgeons in the UK trained in both GammaKnife and CyberKnife radiosurgery for treating these conditions.

Currently he is Clinical Director for Neuroscience at King’s College Hospital in London and the Neurosurgical Tutor to the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology.
