Hi,

I'm Dr Alex Koefman.

A Brisbane neurosurgeon, providing the best surgical care for spine and brain conditions.

Over 10+ years working alongside Australia’s top neurosurgeons and 7+ years as a primary surgeon, I’ve mastered keyhole procedures. As a RACS and Neurosurgical Society of Australia member, I stay at the forefront of new medical research and techniques, continually refining my precision and efficiency to help you find lasting relief.

I specialise in

Utilising advanced minimally invasive techniques, I provide targeted treatments for complex spinal conditions to minimise recovery time and maximise mobility. As a specialised spine surgeon, I perform procedures ranging from Microdiscectomy and Artificial Disc Replacement to complex Spinal Fusions (ALIF, PLIF, TLIF) and Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF). My focus is on preserving spinal stability while effectively treating degenerative conditions and disc disorders.

I provide comprehensive neurosurgical care for a wide spectrum of cranial conditions, combining precision with compassionate patient management. My expertise as a brain surgeon covers the surgical management of primary and metastatic brain tumours including Gliomas, Meningiomas, and Pituitary Tumours as well as acute conditions such as Subdural Haematomas.
We utilise state-of-the-art technology to navigate complex pathologies and aim for the best possible neurological outcomes.

When conservative management fails, surgical intervention can offer profound relief for the debilitating nerve pain associated with sciatica. I specialise in decompressing the affected nerve roots caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis. By assessing your specific spinal anatomy, I tailor the surgical approach often via spinal decompression or discectomy to alleviate leg pain and restore function, ensuring you receive expert care from a dedicated spine surgeon.

'Less is more'neurosurgery.

I take a ‘less is more’ approach because 99% of the time, that’s all you need to get back to living your life. We don’t sideline pro athletes with invasive surgery. We use precision. We make it keyhole. We make it effective.

And you deserve the same.
