About Dr. Chinmay Kumbhar
Dr. Chinmay Kumbhar is a neurologist and paediatric neurologist with over 10 years of clinical experience. He completed his MBBS from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (M.U.H.S), Nashik in 2016. He then completed his MD in Pediatrics from M.U.H.S, Nashik in 2020, which gave him a strong foundation in child health and development before pursuing further superspeciality training. He completed his DNB in Neurology from the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in 2024, the highest nationally recognised qualification in neurology in India. He is registered with the Maharashtra Medical Council under registration number 2016/08/3453.
Dr. Kumbhar's academic pathway is particularly well suited to his clinical focus on paediatric neurology. His MD in Pediatrics followed by a DNB in Neurology means he has formal postgraduate training in both child health and the neurological sciences. This dual foundation is directly relevant to paediatric neurology practice, where the clinician must understand both how the developing brain and nervous system work and how neurological conditions present differently in children compared to adults. It is a combination that equips him to manage conditions from birth through adolescence with both paediatric and neurological depth.
His recognition at IANCON (Indian Academy of Neurology Conference) in both 2024 and 2025 reflects active academic engagement at the national level. The Indian Academy of Neurology annual conference is the most significant professional gathering for neurologists in India, and receiving recognition there in consecutive years signals a contribution to the neurological community that goes beyond routine clinical practice. He is also a member of the Indian Academy of Neurology and the Maharashtra Medical Council, keeping his practice aligned with current national neurological standards and evidence.
The scope of adult and paediatric neurology is broad. On the adult side it covers conditions including migraine and headache disorders, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, dementia and multiple sclerosis. On the paediatric side it covers conditions such as childhood epilepsy (including infantile spasms and febrile seizures), cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental disorders, paediatric migraine, neuroinfections and motor or developmental delay. Dr. Kumbhar's background positions him to manage both populations, making him a valuable resource at a multispeciality hospital where neurological referrals come from diverse departments.
Dr. Chinmay Kumbhar brings a methodical and evidence-led approach to his neurological consultations, combining clinical assessment with appropriate investigation to reach accurate diagnoses and meaningful treatment plans. He also practises at Baner Multi-Speciality Hospital, Baner, Pune, where patients from Baner, Wakad, Aundh and Pashan can access specialist neurological and paediatric neurological care close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Paediatric neurology focuses on neurological conditions in children from birth through adolescence. The developing brain and nervous system behave differently from those of adults, and many neurological conditions present in different ways in children. For example, childhood epilepsy syndromes, cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental disorders and febrile seizures require a clinician who understands both neurology and paediatric physiology. Dr. Kumbhar's MD in Pediatrics followed by his DNB in Neurology gives him formal training in both disciplines.
A first seizure in a child requires prompt medical assessment. Parents should stay calm, place the child on their side to protect the airway, time the seizure and not put anything in the child's mouth. If the seizure lasts more than five minutes or the child does not recover normally, emergency medical care should be sought immediately. After any first seizure, a consultation with a neurologist is recommended to determine the cause, rule out serious underlying conditions and assess whether treatment is needed.
In adult patients, Dr. Kumbhar manages conditions including migraine, chronic headache disorders, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, dementia and cognitive decline and neuroinfections. He conducts a thorough neurological assessment at each consultation and recommends appropriate investigations such as EEG, MRI brain or nerve conduction studies where needed to confirm the diagnosis.
The DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in Neurology is awarded by the National Board of Examinations (NBE), a central body that sets and assesses postgraduate medical standards at the national level. The DNB in Neurology is considered equivalent to a DM (Doctorate of Medicine) in Neurology in terms of national recognition and qualifies a doctor to practise as a neurologist in India. Dr. Kumbhar completed this qualification in 2024 following his MD in Pediatrics, giving him a structured dual-speciality academic pathway.
You can book a consultation by contacting Baner Multi-Speciality Hospital through the hospital helpline or the online appointment booking option on the hospital website.
