About Dr Craig Timms
Mr Craig Timms is a neurosurgeon based in Richmond, Australia. After completing his Medical Degree at the University of Tasmania in 1996 and an intern year at Burnie Hospital, he moved to Melbourne in 1998 to work at The Alfred Hospital. His early experiences in the neurosurgical unit sparked a deep interest in neurosurgery, leading to training across several major Melbourne hospitals. Craig completed his neurosurgical training, including a Master of Surgery and a year of clinical research, in 2007.
Craig combines extensive hands-on expertise with access to the latest imaging and surgical technology, offering patients leading-edge treatments. While he embraces technological advances, he also retains the solid, 'old-fashioned' surgical skills developed before automation became standard, providing reassurance that an experienced surgeon is always in control. With over 15 years of post-training experience and more than 7,000 hours of private practice operating time, Mr Timms brings deep, proven expertise to every procedure.
Known for his clear and patient-focused communication, Mr Timms ensures patients are fully informed and supported at every step. With Mr Craig Timms as your neurosurgeon, you can relax knowing you are in expert, experienced hands.

Craig is very easy to talk to. He is professional but definitely makes you feel comfortable. My last visit I was so comfortable that I forgot to ask questions about my up coming surgery. Craig explained everything in detail but I had to contact him in regards to my questions I wanted to ask and I got side tracked. My consultation with him was not hurried and I didn’t feel like I was on a timer, like most doctors. Nothing was too much trouble and all my questions answered. I then continued to book my operation.
I enjoyed the visit. I feel that if we saw more of each other wed be friends.
Was a good appointment and everything was explained to me
Craig Timms and the admin team are so easy to work with and makes it so much easier with what you are going through.
Very relaxed environment and Craig had clear communication and was easy to talk to about things.
My hospital stay, operation and staff I encountered were professional and approachable, especially Craig & Paulin Timms. I was apprehensive beforehand but was reassured by attending medical and nursing staff.
Dr Craig Timms is exceptionally Polite answer all our questions and my husband Alex was extremely happy with him Nothing was too hard to answer And it was all done in common language which we were able to understand
