What is a Neurosurgeon?

Neurosurgeons are medical doctors who

specialise in surgical treatment of patients

with neurological conditions.

​

Their specialty training includes diagnosis

and treatment of disorders of the brain, 

spine, spinal cord, nerves as well as the blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord.

​

All of our Neurosurgeons have completed Australian postgraduate qualifications in Neurosurgery as well as additional sub-specialty Fellowship training overseas.

​

Patients are usually referred to a Neurosurgeon to determine whether surgery would be an appropriate treatment option for their symptoms.
