YOUR
NEUROSURGEON
MATTERS
I know I’ve done my best for a patient when they tell me that I’ve genuinely listened to their concerns, I’ve answered their questions and clearly explained how I can help.
Dr Vanessa Sammons
I am a Neurosurgeon at North Shore Private Hospital, Gosford Private Hospital and Ballina Day Surgery treating all neurosurgical conditions, but with a particular interest in Peripheral Nerve Surgery. In fact, I’m the only neurosugeon with a subspecialty in this area in NSW. You can read about my main areas of treatment below.
I believe that a great neurosurgeon will ensure that you understand what your surgery involves, you should feel listened to, and should be available to work with your GP to achieve the best outcome for you.
