About Mr Mark Brown

Mr Mark Brown is an experienced orthopaedic spine surgeon with a career spanning more than three decades. He completed two Spine Fellowships (Adelaide and Stanmore, London) after basic specialist orthopaedic training.

He retired from his full-time NHS spinal surgery practice in 2020 but maintains a part-time NHS post as a Medical Examiner. At Nuffield Health, Mr Brown consults with patients on spinal problems and provides day case injections. He also collaborates with colleagues to offer private spinal surgery when needed.

Apart from his spinal specialisation, Mr Brown recognises the challenges in determining the origin of pain in the back, hip, neck or shoulder. He welcomes patients for consultations to help identify the source of their pain and refer them to other specialists for further care, as necessary.

At Nuffield Health, Mr Brown offers nerve root injections for leg and buttock pain and facet joint injections for back pain. He works closely with other medical professionals to arrange appropriate tests to investigate neck and back problems. Additionally, he coordinates with radiologists to provide neck and arm pain injections which are done with the CT scanner.

Although Mr Brown no longer operates, his opinion is often sought because of his long experience, and as a back sufferer himself, he understands the needs of patients.

Mark went above and beyond with making sure I had the appropriate care. He got me in to see him so quickly, as in next day appointments. His professionalism is second to none. He is very knowledgeable in his field and explained everything to my wife and myself. He is a very caring and emphatic doctor and is a true credit to the medical profession.

The experience from the time I made first contact has been excellent. Communication has been clear and Mr Brown has always responded to any messages sent. The appointment itself was very thorough, from examination, to explaining my test results, to answering any questions I had, I felt very well looked after as a patient. I would warmly recommend Mr Brown to anybody needing to see a spinal consultant/specialist.
