Pediatric Neurologist in Delhi

If you are searching for a paediatric neurologist in Delhi, the honest answer first: we are not one. The short answer is both our Delhi centres, Vasant Kunj and Malviya Nagar, and which one is a question of your journey rather than of the service. What we provide is the neurodevelopmental assessment and therapy that runs alongside neurological care, and this page explains where the line sits.

Which of our Delhi centres you would use

We have two centres in Delhi, and which one you use is a question of geography rather than service, because the same pathway runs at both.

eMbrace Vasant Kunj, at C-7, Sector C, Pocket 5, Grand Vasant Kunj, is the larger team and serves south-west Delhi: Vasant Vihar, Munirka, R.K. Puram, Safdarjung Enclave, Anand Niketan, Shanti Niketan, Moti Bagh and Chanakyapuri.

eMbrace at Rainbow, Malviya Nagar, at FC-29, Plot No. 5, Geetanjali, beside Malviya Nagar Metro Station Gate No. 1, serves the Yellow Line corridor through Saket, Hauz Khas and Green Park, and the drive-in catchment of Greater Kailash and Defence Colony. It runs inside Rainbow Children's Hospital, so multidisciplinary therapy sits in the same building as assessment.

If you are in north or west Delhi, either centre is a real journey, and we would usually suggest starting online and coming in only for the parts that have to happen in a room.

Where a child is under neurological care, our work runs in parallel rather than in sequence: assessment to establish a developmental baseline, then therapy that adjusts as the medical picture changes. Coordination matters more than frequency, and we would rather write to your neurologist than have you carry information between us.

For parking, the nearest drop-off point and the quickest route at your particular time of day, ask on the intake call. Traffic and parking around every one of these centres change enough through the day that current directions from someone who works there beat anything we could fix on a web page.

Where we fit alongside neurological care

Neurological conditions in childhood frequently carry developmental, learning and behavioural consequences, and those are not medical questions. A child with epilepsy may have attention or memory difficulties; a child with cerebral palsy needs physiotherapy, communication support and school access. That is the work we do.

• Developmental and cognitive assessment where a neurological condition has been diagnosed
• Physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy for cerebral palsy and related conditions
• Learning and attention assessment where seizures or medication may be affecting school
• Family support, and help getting a school to understand what a diagnosis means day to day

What each part involves is set out on our paediatric neurology support page.

What we assess, and what we do not

We assess development, cognition, learning, attention and behaviour, and build a written baseline a neurologist can read alongside their own findings. We do not order scans, interpret EEGs, prescribe or manage medication.

If your child has not yet seen a neurologist and the picture suggests one is needed, we will say so plainly rather than starting a therapy programme around an unanswered medical question.

What we see most of

Most of this work in Delhi involves children already under neurological care: cerebral palsy, epilepsy and related conditions, referred for the developmental and therapy side. Because Malviya Nagar runs inside Rainbow, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy sit close to the medical care rather than across the city from it.

Who you would see

Dr Supriya Malik, Founder and CEO, and Head of the Child Development Centre at Rainbow

PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Birmingham, where she was also a postdoctoral researcher, and a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society in the UK. She designed the assessment and therapy pathways every eMbrace centre runs.

To be clear about what this page is: a paediatric neurologist is a doctor, and eMbrace is a psychology and therapy practice. We do not employ one. What we do is the neurodevelopmental and psychological assessment that sits alongside neurological care, and the therapy that follows it. Our Malviya Nagar centre runs inside Rainbow, which is why families needing both are not making two separate searches. If it is a neurologist you need, say so on the intake call and we will tell you straight.

Schools and services we already work with

Neurological care and developmental care have to talk to each other, and around Delhi that happens through:

Our Malviya Nagar centre runs inside Rainbow Children's Hospital, New Delhi, which is why occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, behaviour therapy and special education sit in the same building as assessment.

Where a child or adult needs psychiatric input, we work with Sukoon across Delhi NCR for psychiatric assessment, consultation and medication management, so you are not left to find a psychiatrist yourself.

Fees and coordination

Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call and cover assessment and therapy. Neurological care is separate and not ours to quote.

With your consent we write to the doctor treating your child, because a developmental baseline is considerably more useful to a neurologist than a description of how the last few months have felt.
