Dr. Lt Col Rajib Shahriar

Dr. Lt. Col. Rajib Shahriar has been working in neurosurgery for about twenty-four years. Most people meet him after a serious diagnosis rather than a routine health check. Some arrive with persistent neck or back pain that has not improved. Others are referred after a brain scan, head injury, or symptoms affecting movement and balance. He completed his MBBS before earning two FCPS qualifications, one in General Surgery and another in Neurosurgery. That path takes years of training and operating room experience. Brain and spine surgery leaves little room for guesswork, so careful assessment usually comes before any decision about treatment.

His work includes operations for brain tumours, spinal disorders, pituitary tumours, nerve injuries, and conditions that require procedures such as spinal fusion, ACDF, cranioplasty, shunt placement, or deep brain stimulation. Some patients need surgery without much delay. Others are advised to wait, repeat imaging, or continue with medicine until another review. It depends on what the examination and scans actually show. He has spent much of his career treating patients in a disciplined clinical setting where emergency cases are common, and that experience seems to shape his approach today. The consultation room is often quiet. Families usually bring MRI films, CT scans, and a notebook full of questions because brain and spine diseases can feel overwhelming. He studies the images, explains the findings in plain language, and discusses the available options one step at a time. Then the next decision is made from there.
