North Shore Neurosurgery

Dr Ball has joined the North Shore Neurosurgery group.

North Shore Neurosurgery (NSN) is a group of five neurosurgeons servicing both public and privaye patients on the North Shore of Sydney and the Central Coast. The reputation of the group means that referrals come from not only within these areas but from all over NSW, Australia and indeed, internationally.

Each member of the group has specific subspeciality interests that allow inter-referral amongst the group for various neurosurgical conditions. This allows for state-of-the-art treatment by surgeons with enormous experience and expertise in their particular area.

Dr Ball brings to the group specific expertise in spinal surgery - including reconstructive surgery, minimally invasive surgery and trauma.

For further information about the group see the North Shore Neurosurgery website.
