The Neurosurgery Department at MMTH provides safe, modern, and compassionate care for brain and spine conditions. Led by Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Junaid, MBBS, FCPS Neurosurgery, Head of Neurosurgery, our team focuses on accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatments, and strong patient support from the first visit through recovery.
Trusted leadership in brain and spine care
Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Junaid is a highly trained neurosurgeon with extensive experience in complex brain and spine surgery. His leadership ensures every patient receives evidence based treatment tailored to their unique needs. From advanced imaging to precise surgical techniques, patient safety and outcomes are at the heart of our department.
Conditions we treat
Our department manages a wide range of conditions, including
– Brain tumors benign and malignant
– Spinal disc herniation and degenerative spine disease
– Traumatic brain injury and spinal trauma
– Stroke and brain hemorrhage in collaboration with neurology and critical care
– Hydrocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid disorders
– Trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain
– Pituitary and skull base tumors
– Aneurysms and vascular malformations with endovascular and microsurgical options
– Congenital and pediatric neurosurgical conditions
Advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive options
Accurate diagnosis guides the right treatment. We use high resolution MRI and CT, neurophysiological monitoring, and image guidance known as neuronavigation to improve precision. Whenever possible, Dr. Junaid recommends minimally invasive procedures that reduce pain, shorten hospital stay, and speed recovery. These include endoscopic pituitary surgery, microdiscectomy for slipped discs, keyhole craniotomy for selected brain tumors, and percutaneous pain procedures.
Personalized treatment plans
Not every patient needs surgery. Many conditions improve with non operative care, including medication, targeted nerve blocks, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. When surgery is the best option, Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Junaid explains the procedure, benefits, risks, and expected recovery in clear language, so you can make a confident and informed decision.
What to expect at your first consultation
– Thorough review of your medical history and symptoms
– Neurological examination to assess strength, sensation, balance, and reflexes
– Review of available scans and tests, with guidance on any further imaging
– A clear plan that may include conservative care, additional diagnostics, or surgery
– Time for your questions, with honest and reassuring answers
Surgical excellence and safety
Our operating rooms follow strict safety checklists and infection control protocols. An expert anesthesia team monitors you continuously during surgery. For complex cases, we use intraoperative monitoring to protect critical brain and spinal cord functions. After surgery, patients recover in a specialized ward or intensive care unit when needed, ensuring round the clock care.
Rehabilitation and long term follow up
Healing continues after discharge. We work closely with physiotherapists, pain specialists, and rehabilitation experts to help you regain strength and independence. Follow up visits with Dr. Junaid track progress, optimize medications, and adjust activity levels to support a steady return to daily life and work.

Frequently asked questions
Is surgery always required for a slipped disc
Many patients improve without surgery. Options include rest, physical therapy, medications, and targeted injections. Surgery is considered when pain or weakness persists or when there is nerve compression causing progressive deficits.
Are all brain tumors cancerous
No. Many brain tumors are benign but can still cause symptoms due to pressure on nearby structures. Early evaluation and a tailored treatment plan are essential.
How long is recovery after neurosurgery
Recovery time varies by procedure and overall health. Minimally invasive techniques often reduce hospital stay and speed return to normal activities. Dr. Junaid will provide a personalized recovery timeline.
