Dr Jonathon R. Ball

specialist spine surgeon and neurosurgeon

I am committed to achieving the best outcomes possible. Only by listening to you, tailoring personal treatment and acting as your advocate will excellence in surgical treatment translate into clinical success.

While fully qualified in neurosurgery, I have chosen to focus my practice on spinal surgery, so as to provide expertise in this specialised area.

The following pages contain information about my services, neurosurgical conditions, surgical and non-surgical treatments. I hope they are useful, but remember, they are no substitute for personalised neurosurgical assessment and advice.

Feel free to contact my office by phone or e-mail to arrange a consultation.
