Mr Daniel Fagan
MBChb MRCS (Eng) FRCS (Tr & Orth)
GMC: 4219910Professional statement
Mr Daniel Fagan is a leading consultant spinal surgeon based in Darlington, Harrogate and Stockton-on-Tees who specialises in balloon kyphoplasty, adult degenerative spinal conditions and minimally invasive spinal surgery, alongside percutaneous discectomy, cervical disc replacement and low back pain. He privately practises at Woodlands Hospital, The Duchy Hospital and Nuffield Tees Hospital.
Mr Fagan is highly qualified with an MBChB from Bristol University in 1995 and also has an MRCS (Eng) and FRCS (Tr&Orth) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. His background in orthopaedic and trauma surgery has been developed over 25 years of practise, meaning he has a wide range of experience in the field. Furthermore, he has detailed spinal fellowship training and has developed his own expertise in treating painful conditions and adult scoliosis or deformity correction.
Mr Fagan, who is the only surgeon in the region to offer expertise in percutaneous discectomy, or laser discectomy, is also an expert in balloon kyphoplasty. He brought this treatment to patients with osteoporotic fractures in the area 16 years ago. He also has expertise in managing complex adult degenerative reconstruction and complex adult spinal trauma in isolation, or within the sphere of multiple-trauma and critically-injured patients.
Mr Fagan was an early adopter of minimally invasive treatment of back pain with minimal access spinal fusion in 2007 and of osteoporotic fractures of the spine with vertebral body augmentation, and his research into this, as well as various other orthopaedic and spinal surgery topics, has been published in various peer-reviewed journals. This has led to him being invited to speak at international meetings and teach these techniques to other consultants.
Mr Fagan is a respected clinical leader, and is an advisor for the National Institute of Clinical Excellence, the Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee and is part of the senior management for clinical governance and patient safety at Woodlands Hospital. He is also a Clinical Chairman of Circle Health Group.
Mr Fagan is a member of various professional organisations including the British Association of Spinal Surgeons (BASS), British Scoliosis Society (BSS) and AO International Spine.
He also sits on the Local Health & Wellbeing Board as an elected member of Stockton Borough Council.
