Mr Dan Brown

Mr Dan Brown is a Consultant Neurosurgeon and spinal surgeon based in Cambridge, with a sub-specialist interest in the assessment and treatment of degenerative spinal conditions. He treats a wide range of spinal problems, from common conditions such as back pain and sciatica through to more complex disorders affecting the spinal cord and nerves, including myelopathy and radiculopathy.

As a neurosurgeon, Mr Brown's training is focused on the brain, spinal cord and nerves, giving him particular expertise in spinal conditions where the nerves or spinal cord are involved. Where surgery is needed, he adopts a minimally invasive approach wherever appropriate, with the aim of relieving pressure on the affected nerves through the least invasive means possible. The majority of spinal conditions, however, are managed without surgery, and Mr Brown will always consider conservative options first.

Alongside his spinal practice, Mr Brown has a sub-specialist interest in neurovascular conditions, including brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas, as well as Chiari malformation. He trained on the National Training Programme for Neurosurgery in Yorkshire and completed two sub-specialist fellowships, including a prestigious and highly competitive Royal College of Surgeons of England neurovascular fellowship.

Mr Brown holds a full-time NHS consultant post and is actively involved in teaching and training, including undergraduate medical students at the University of Cambridge. He offers private consultations in Cambridge at the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital and Nuffield Health Cambridge, as well as at Harley Street in London.
