Meet Dr. SWATHI T
Dr. T. Swathi — Consultant Neurologist
MBBS | MD (General Medicine) | DM (Neurology)
Dr. T. Swathi is the Founder and Consultant Neurologist at Dr. Swathi Neuro & Spine Care. She has completed her DM Neurology, making her one of the few DM qualified neurologists in South Chennai offering dedicated clinic based care.
Her clinical practice spans the full spectrum of neurological disorders — from common conditions like headaches and vertigo to complex diseases like epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s, neuromuscular disorders, and dementia.
What makes Dr. Swathi different:
She takes time with every patient — no rushed 5-minute appointments
She explains diagnoses in simple, reassuring language
She avoids unnecessary investigations and over-medication
She focuses on long-term neurological health, not just immediate symptom relief. Patients consistently describe their consultations with Dr. Swathi as informative, calming, and confidence-inspiring — and that is something she takes great pride in.

About The Clinic
About Dr. Swathi Neuro & Spine Care
Dr. Swathi Neuro & Spine Care is a specialist neurology and spine clinic located in Chitlapakkam, Chennai, founded with a clear purpose — to bring accessible, high-quality neurological care to patients in South Chennai and beyond.
At our clinic, we believe in three things:
- Every Patient Deserves Clarity
Neurological conditions can be deeply unsettling. We take time to explain what’s happening in your brain or spine in terms you can understand — no jargon, no confusion.
- Diagnosis should come before Treatment
We never rush to prescribe. Every treatment plan starts with a thorough evaluation, supported by in-house diagnostic technology.
- Continuity of Care Matters
Neurological conditions are often long-term. We’re with you at every stage — from first consultation to recovery and beyond.
Our clinic is equipped with advanced diagnostic infrastructure, including EEG, NCS, EMG, TCD, BERA, VEP, and Carotid Doppler — bringing hospital-grade diagnostics to a personalized clinic setting.
Our Approach
✔ Evidence-based care
✔ Holistic, patient-centred approach
✔ Multidisciplinary collaboration (Neurology, Psychiatry, Rehabilitation)
✔ Focus on functional recovery and quality of life
Our Vision & Values
✔ To be South Chennai’s most trusted destination for expert, ethical and empathetic neurological care.
✔ Accuracy — Correct diagnosis is the foundation of good treatment
✔ Transparency — Honest communication with every patient and family
✔ Empathy — Understanding that illness affects the whole person, not just the brain
✔ Excellence — Continuing education, advanced diagnostics, evidence-based care
✔ Accessibility — Quality neurology care that is approachable and available
