Mr Murtuza Sikander is a highly experienced Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon, currently based at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he serves as the Lead Clinician for the Neurosurgical Spinal Service. His extensive training includes fellowship programmes in both skull base and spinal surgery, undertaken at several leading institutions including King’s College Hospital, The Royal Free Hospital, The Royal London Hospital, and the John Radcliffe Hospital itself.
Before establishing his practice in Oxford, Mr Sikander held consultant roles at St Mary’s Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital in London, managing a wide range of neurosurgical and spinal conditions.
Mr Sikander specialises in treating complex spinal disorders, including spinal pain resulting from degenerative disease, spinal stenosis, spinal cord tumours, spinal vascular malformations, adult congenital abnormalities, Arnold-Chiari Malformations, and syringomyelia. He also performs complex revision spine surgeries and is known for his expertise in minimally invasive techniques.
In addition to his spinal work, he is an accomplished cranial neurosurgeon with a particular sub-specialist interest in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)—a frequently misdiagnosed but treatable condition that often mimics dementia in older adults.
Mr Sikander has pioneered several advanced techniques in brain and spine surgery, including endoscopic spine surgery, awake spine surgery, and novel surgical interventions for NPH. His contributions continue to influence modern neurosurgical practice and improve outcomes for patients with complex neurological conditions.

My visit was excellent. Nearly all staff were excellent and my treatment was amazing. Mr Sikander explained everything in great detail and made me feel very relaxed. He explained everything about the procedure in great detail and put me at ease, especially understanding my great phobia of being unconscious. The actual procedure was conducted so well that I felt completely at ease, his care was second to none. He let me know in advance that it could be done under just a local anaesthetic. All staff looked after my son, who accompanied me, so well. My only small problem was my fear of anaesthesia returned after speaking to anaesthetist, because he seemed to think that I would have to have the sedative and we could discuss this once on table, because the other 7 people booked in had received it with no problems, unfortunately my fear is I know irrational but is so acute with me I then stressed about it as I didn't want to wait until I was on table, as he suggested and waste everyone's time. But apart from that. He was a very professional man and I am sure he was only following protocol, but didn't quite understand my intense fear, I think he maybe thought I didn't like the needle going in, but this wasn't my fear, I have no fear of needles just going unconscious! But I would like to thank Mr Islander and all the staff involved for their exceptional care.
I was pleased to know that there would be further assessments carried out upon my body before any decisions were made.
He was so helpful and described all my problems so simply to me. And he is so optimistic ☺️🙏
I have been seeing Mr Sikander for an issue with my neck - He Listened carefully & answered all of my questions and concerns in an understandable manner. Addressed my concerns holistically & not just the neck issue I had. Explained the diagnosis & treatment plan, explained what I needed to do after treatment. Overall everybody in the team, that I have had interactions with have been professional & caring. And ultimately I have had a successful outcome with my treatment. Many thanks.
I had to see Mr Sikander in follow-up to surgery a week ago. He was very attentive and reassuring and provided a very clear plan on next steps for my treatment plan
Fantastic service, with effective results and diagnosis.
I had an excellent experience with Dr Murtuza Sikander. From my initial consultation regarding my back pain, he was extremely professional, thorough and attentive. He arranged the necessary investigations, including MRI and X-ray scans, and took the time to explain the findings, the underlying problems and their possible causes in a clear and reassuring manner. I felt genuinely listened to, well cared for and confident in his expertise throughout. His professionalism, knowledge and dedication to patient care are truly commendable. I would highly recommend Dr Sikander to anyone seeking expert medical advice and care.
Mr. Sikander has a very reassuring manner and immediately you feel that you are in expert hands. He guided me through the result of my scan and explained thoroughly his diagnosis. He then talked through different options of treatment and the outcome of each, gently recommending a way forward. I felt greatly encouraged after my consultation that I was on the path to a full recovery. I can highly recommend Mr. Sikander.
It was professional and brief. Mr Sikander told me that it was likely to be a slipped disc at a particular position. I couldn't understand the jargon used and it would have been useful for be if the issue could have been explained further with a diagram perhaps.
Treated my symptoms holistically. Explained treatment pathway and what to expect. The care I received for outpatient and inpatient treatment has been excellent.
