Dr. Laxmidhar Parhi

Dr. Laxmidhar Parhi is Senior Consultant - Neurology at Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, with 29 years of overall medical experience, including 19 years of expertise in neurology. His qualifications are MBBS, MD in General Medicine and DM in Neurology.

His clinical practice covers epilepsy and seizures, movement disorders, migraine, sleep disorders, neuropathy, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Manipal also lists neuro-oncology and neurotrauma among his areas of expertise, including assessment of complex conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Dr. Parhi received an Honours in Anatomy Best Paper Award during his DM training and has authored peer-reviewed work and presented at medical conferences. Manipal notes his experience with complex neurological cases and lists Odia, Hindi and English as his spoken languages, supporting communication with a broad patient population.

For patients seeking neurological review, useful records include MRI or CT imaging, EEG or nerve-conduction studies when available, previous admission summaries and a complete medication history. Treatment depends on diagnosis, examination findings, symptom progression and prior response to therapy.

Epilepsy, movement disorders and neuropathy often require longitudinal medication adjustment, while suspected tumour or trauma cases may need neurosurgical or oncological input. Cognitive symptoms and Parkinson’s disease may also benefit from rehabilitation, neuropsychology and allied-health assessment as part of longer-term care.

Stroke-risk factors, sleep quality and medication side effects are also reviewed when relevant to ongoing neurological symptoms.
