Dr. Waqas Mehdi — Neurosurgeon, Lahore

Dr. Waqas Mehdi is an FCPS Neurosurgeon and Assistant Professor at King Edward Medical University (KEMU) and Mayo Hospital, Lahore — two of Pakistan's most respected public medical institutions. His practice spans the full breadth of neurosurgery: brain tumors, spine conditions, hydrocephalus, head injury, pediatric neurosurgery, and chronic nerve pain.

He is among a small number of neurosurgeons in Pakistan trained in full endoscopic spine surgery and minimally invasive brain tumor approaches — meaning his patients often benefit from smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery than traditional open surgery allows.

Patients travel from across Pakistan — Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Multan — and from overseas, to consult Dr. Waqas for both routine and complex neurosurgical conditions, seeking a second opinion or definitive treatment.
