3 Best Neurosurgeons in Brisbane QLD

A pleasurable and warranted review of Neurosurgeon Dr Tollesson. After sustaining multiple injuries and chronic pain, I have had the pleasure of finally finding not only an amazing surgeon but a fantastic, caring and compassionate person also. Dr Tollesson is a leading neurosurgeon who see’s the person behind the disease/injury and empathise with you. An empathetic and extremely professional neurosurgeon who ensures that your emotional health and well-being are also taken care of, not just your neurological problems. I’m quite a complex case due to migraines, blurred vision, spinal cord injuries and lumbar spine issues (Most including blurred vision, migraines and extreme nerve pain have been exponentially improved which in turn has given me quality of life).I have referred many people for second opinions and they have come out with improved health outcomes, improved quality of life, improved hope and confidence after seeing Dr Tollesson. I cannot recommend him highly enough in words and I have had significant injuries/ surgeries as well as been on the roller coaster of trialling surgeons and cannot find one close to the level of this amazing man.

So happy with the care given to me by Dr Tollesson and his team. I was admitted to Greenslopes Hospital in really bad pain from severe spinal stenosis. I had tried opioid painkillers, physio, massage, cortisone injections but nothing was even touching the excruciating pain I was in. Dr Tollesson went through my scans with me very carefully and clearly to explain all the multiple issues with my spine and recommended surgery to which I readily agreed. 3 weeks later I was back for the op which went perfectly and I am pain free 6 weeks post op and so grateful for the wonderful care from not just Dr Tollesson but his lovey wife, nurse and admin, he has a whole team approach and they all make you feel cared for and supported. I highly recommend this doctor and his practice for spinal care.

My wife had Double cage on spinal alignment, Dr Gert kept us informed all the way, post surgery care was impeccable. My wife has got her life back and no discomfort or pain. Thankyou.

Dr. Sarah Olson is an amazing human and a great professional. I had a tumor removed from my pituitary gland in February. The finding was incidental and so scary at the time, but the surgery went perfectly without any complications, even those that commonly occur. I was prepared for the worst, but the best happened with her. I am not on any medication and was back to normal life way sooner than I expected. Dr. Olson and her office staff provided incredible support during this difficult time. I cannot express enough her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and compassion. I feel truly blessed to have had her as my surgeon.

This beautiful careing surgeon has changed my life. I can walk standing up straight, I’m now close to pain free. She had so much care and understanding of my situation. I’m 71 and was very active up until my situation changed with shocking nerve pain to my legs. Now I’m back at it with my life back. I thank you for the chance to live again. They say you are the best and I can sure agree.

Dr Sarah is incredible. She is a highly skilled neurosurgeon who is genuinely caring, compassionate and authentic. She helps you feel completely at ease and confident in her care. She has changed my life and I am so thankful.

Thank you so much Professor Olson for all you have done for my family and I. From a life threatening tumour to a complete recovery is amazing. I am starting a new job in September and have fully regained my health and interest in life. Sending all my love and gratitude to you and the neuro team at PAH. Special thanks to Brock and Phoebe at radiology who have looked after me through that process. Well done and good luck to you all for the future. You are making an incredible difference :) :). - RA

As most of you would be visiting a Neurosurgeon in a state of anxiety and fear - it is likely that any directness from the Doctor would perhaps appear abrupt. I have had this beforewith other Doctors. We must remember, they are human and dealing with serious, sometimes deadly issues. I found Dr Kahler somewhere in the middle on my first visit. With each subsequent visit he has become warmer. Now this could be that I am more comfortable with my condition or, and I believe this is so, my trust in him has grown. I would not go to anyone else and I trust his diagnosis and treatment options completely. I would rather have a brilliant Doctor - fantastic in his job any day , than a jokey friendly one who makes mistakes :-)

Successful surgery by an extremely talented neurosurgeon straight to the proposed solution on first visit and a fast turnaround to the operating theatre. Hospital staff praise him highly with his businesslike attitude whilst it is obvious his first priority is patient care. Dr Kahler certainly treated me very well as did neuro aneathetist Dr Euston.

Dr Kahler is a wonderful surgeon! He not only fixed my back, but I found him to be a thoughtful and caring man. He has continued to follow up with my progress and has offered any assistance for the future incase anything further arises.
