Dr. Navneeth Kumar G.K. is a highly skilled and dedicated spine surgeon with extensive training and experience in both conventional and minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. Renowned for his patient-friendly approach and professional bedside manners, Dr. Navneeth is a valued member of the medical community known for his precision and compassionate care.
His meticulous attention to detail and methodical approach to spine care ensure that each patient receives personalised, evidence-based treatment. He began his medical career at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore, earning his MBBS in 2014, and completed his MS in Orthopaedics at Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI) between 2015 and 2018.
Dr. Navneeth’s deep interest in spine surgery began during his postgraduate training, where his foundation in spine biomechanics, anatomy, neurology, and examination techniques set him apart early in his career. After completing his MS and DNB, he worked closely with leading spine surgeons in Bangalore to further refine his expertise.
In 2021, he was selected for the prestigious FNB (Fellow of National Board) Spine Surgery program at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Srinagar — a premier central government institute renowned for its diverse and high-volume spine cases. There, he gained hands-on experience performing a wide range of advanced spine surgeries with excellent outcomes.
His pursuit of excellence continued with a Fellowship in Full Endoscopic Spine Surgery at Bumrungrad International Hospital, Bangkok (2024). He has since performed numerous successful endoscopic procedures — from simple discectomies to internal decompressions and endo-fusions — establishing himself as one of Bangalore’s trusted specialists in minimally invasive spine care.
