About Mr Bhaskar Thakur

Mr. Bhaskar Thakur is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital, specialising in spinal and neurovascular surgery. He obtained his MB BS from the University of London in 2007.

Mr. Thakur studied Medicine at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, before completing his clinical training at Imperial College London. His neurosurgical training was undertaken at two of London’s leading teaching hospitals, King’s College Hospital and St George’s Hospital, followed by the prestigious Sir Hugh Cairns Complex Spinal Surgery Fellowship at The Royal London Hospital. Here he trained in advanced spinal techniques alongside neurosurgical and orthopaedic specialists.

He has extensive expertise in minimally invasive (keyhole) spinal surgery, performing procedures such as spinal injections, endoscopic discectomy, disc replacement, and complex spinal fusion using the latest techniques to optimise recovery and outcomes. As a fellowship-trained neurovascular surgeon, he also manages complex brain and spinal vascular conditions, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and cavernomas.

Mr. Thakur’s practice encompasses a wide range of spinal and cranial conditions, with a focus on patient-centred care and innovation. Outside of medicine, he enjoys badminton, tennis, playing the piano and watercolour painting.

I was welcomed by both reception teams and Dr Thakur was very helpful and listened to all I had to say stressing that I can return if I needed any further help. All in all a very positive experience.

My experience with Dr Bashkar Thakur was excellent. I have seen many specialists for my spine, but no one has explained things to me as clearly as he did. He took the time to go through my MRI imaging in person, step by step, and helped me understand what was going on and why I was experiencing my symptoms. It was very reassuring to know that everything had been done properly to rule out anything major. We also came up with a clear plan for the best course of action to help manage and minimise the condition. He was professional, understanding, and gave great advice throughout. What I appreciated most was that I did not feel brushed off, unlike with some other doctors and professionals I have seen in the past. I felt listened to and properly taken care of. I would highly recommend Dr Bashkar Thakur and the services they offer.
