Indubitably the best doctor! 🙌
He has remained an amicable and intelligent, communicative and super approachable doctor as per my first interaction up till now.
He operated my surgery in 2025 (Endoscopic Pituitary Tumor Excision) and I am really glad I chose Dr Naba as my Neurosurgeon.
Fast forward to one of my experiences in 2026 - A doctor from my hometown while performing my endoscopy (post-surgery) remarked that my surgery had been done so well and asked me which doctor was it
That’s Doctor Naba J Borah for you guys

Sir did surgery for my mother for severe back pain as it was beyond the work for any medicine. We came to know about Dr Borah from a family friend. This operation was done 5 months back. We are afraid that due to age complications and paralysis may happen. But must say Dr Sir do through investigation and full preparation before surgery. Now my mother is recovering and have resume normal day to day activities. No question his behaviour and attitude toward patients is top notch. One gem of a gentleman doctor in Assam.

All doctors are good, but Dr Borah sir is world class. My father had serious stroke and we thought it's over. In fact many doctors did the initial investigations and gave us 6 months max. Everyone said its a critical case.. We discovered Borah sir.. He also explained the same but his approach is very good and he took time to understand the case fully. Others are also good.. but Bora sir went above and beyond. Finally we got the confidence and the surgery was done.. It was a 10 hour surgery.. All is good.. Our Rahman Family will always be in debt of Borah Sir

We are extremely grateful towards Dr. N J Borah, the best Neurosurgeon who had successfully operated on the tumour in my sister's pituitary gland. Moreover, we had received the best care from the doctors as well as hospital staffs during our stay at the hospital. They are always ready to help and answer each of our queries patiently. The cost is quite reasonable too. A must visit if you are in need of this kind of medical care.

Dr Naba J Borah is truly the best spine specialist I have encountered. From the very first consultation, I felt confident in his expertise and care
I had been suffering from a chronic back pain for years and had visited multiple doctors with no lasting relief.Dr N J Borah took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and recommend a surgery to remove the tumour in the spine.
After a successful surgery my pain decrease significantly and within weeks I was back to my normal activities.
I highly recommend Dr N J Borah to anyone dealing with spine issues

To me Dr Naba J Baura is the best doctor I've experienced. My daughter had pituitary tumor since childhood and was not detected since no symptoms was observed. Right from the first day I took her to GNRC for second opinion since she got black out frequently when she reached class 10 I'm very happy to meet him and having faith in his treatment I continued her treatment with him. He never do anything hastily but with proper investigations first. My daughter's tumor already had haemorrhage but luckily it was detected very fast and operation was successfully done on 9th March 2023.She's doing well now and I would say that Dr Naba was the best. He's also very approachable and very clear with his ways in treating his patients. I've recommended many who have any neurological problem to him. They were all happy with him.
Thank you so much Doctor.
