Dr. Irfan Elahi

Dr. Irfan is a specialist neurosurgeon with over 18 years of clinical experience. He completed his neurosurgery residency at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Pakistan, and served as Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Rawalpindi Medical College and affiliated teaching institutions. He relocated to the UAE in 2010 and has more than 10 years of professional experience here, including work at Al Ain Hospital before joining Burjeel Farha in Al Ain.

His main area of expertise is spine surgery, particularly minimally invasive techniques. He treats a wide range of spine-related conditions including neck and back pain, disc disease, sciatica, and spinal trauma. He performs keyhole spinal procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, pain blocks, and kyphoplasty (a technique to strengthen weakened vertebrae), as well as open spinal fusion surgeries when needed. Dr. Irfan also manages brain conditions including tumors, hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease, with surgical options including burr holes and craniotomies.

He is a good fit for patients seeking minimally invasive spine treatment, those with chronic back or neck pain wanting non-surgical pain management options first, and patients requiring specialist care for complex spinal or neurological conditions.
