Karnataka's 5 largest listed cities add up to roughly 18.7 million people. Bengaluru (14.4 million), Mysuru (1.3 million) and Hubballi-Dharwad (1.3 million) lead the list, with 2 other cities behind them. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 71,000 hospital beds, including some 3,500 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,900 hospitals (roughly 770 public and 2,100 private). Karnataka averages 3.80 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 73% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 23,000 doctors and 42,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. A neurologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many neurologists practise in Karnataka.
Karnataka has infant mortality of 15 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 5 neurologists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a neurologist
- Check the qualification: MBBS, MD (Medicine) and DM or DNB (Neurology).
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Neurology) and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Neurosurgeons (MCh) operate on the brain and spine and are a different specialty from neurologists, who diagnose and treat with medicines and non-surgical care.

Who is the best neurologist in Karnataka?

Shortlist two or three neurologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Neurology), and compare facilities and communication. Dr Sharan Srinivasan (Bengaluru) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.
What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
A neurologist diagnoses and treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves mostly with medicines and therapy. A neurosurgeon performs operations when surgery is needed. They commonly refer patients to each other.
Do I need an MRI for every neurological complaint?
No. Many conditions are diagnosed after a careful history and examination. The neurologist orders an MRI, CT or EEG only when it will change the diagnosis or treatment.
