Comprehensive, Compassionate, and Multidisciplinary Care for the Brain and Mind

Neurologic conditions often affect not just movement, but communication, cognition, behavior, and emotional well-being. Whether patients are recovering after an acute neurological event or facing life-limiting neurodegenerative illnesses, their care needs are complex—and best addressed through collaborative teamwork.

Our integrated care model brings together medical, therapeutic, and psychological expertise to maximize recovery, relieve suffering, and support quality of life.

We treat the whole person—not just the disease. Whether the goal is regaining independence or ensuring comfort, our unified team stands beside patients and families throughout the journey.

Comprehensive Care

How We Work Together

  • Joint Assessment
    Patients are evaluated collectively by medical, psychological, and therapy professionals.

  • Personalized Goal Setting
    Functional recovery goals (rehab) or comfort-oriented goals (palliative care) are created in discussion with the patient and family.

  • Regular Team Conferences
    Progress is reviewed weekly. Plans are adjusted as needed based on evolving needs.

  • Integrated Care Pathway
    Seamless coordination between therapies, mental health, and medical care ensures continuity and compassion at every stage.

What Patients Say

I’ve been under the care of Dr. Poornima Gauri ma’am for over a year now, and I’ve experienced a remarkable improvement in my health. Most of my long-standing symptoms are finally under control, and after years of struggling, I’m able to sleep peacefully at night. What truly sets her apart is her consistent support—she has always responded patiently whenever I reached out, offering clarity on treatment options and guidance. Beyond being a skilled neurologist, she inspires her patients to focus on holistic well-being. Her calm and encouraging words often stayed with me, especially during difficult days. I feel fortunate to be treated by someone so compassionate and dedicated.

Sayali Singh Rana

I was diagnosed with ocular myasthenia three years ago, and I consider myself very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Poornima Gauri by the well-respected Dr. H.V. Sardesai. From our very first meeting, I felt confident in her expert diagnosis and calm, clear communication. She explained the condition, the treatment path, and possible outcomes with remarkable clarity and care. Under her attentive supervision, I experienced steady improvement and regained confidence in my health. Her dedication didn’t end with prescriptions—she always made sure I felt reassured and supported throughout. I remain deeply grateful for her expertise and humane approach.

Jayant Marathe

In Feb 2024, I met Dr. Poornima Gauri when my husband was admitted under her care. As a doctor myself, I was shaken by the seriousness of his condition, which she recognized immediately. She calmly explained the treatment and prognosis, and soon I saw signs of recovery—just as she had assured. During this time, she gently reminded me to care for myself, saying, “You’re the captain now—your rest is vital too.” Those words touched me deeply. She later treated my mother-in-law’s early Alzheimer’s with the same compassion. Dr. Poornima is among Pune’s most gifted and empathetic neurologists.
