Dr Halcrow is by far the best neurosurgeon I could recommend. His knowledge is exceptional and seemingly limitless. I have learnt that Dr Halcrow came from South Australia to practice in Canberra. Canberran's are lucky to have him and it is South Australia's loss. No wonder some patients have flown interstate for his services and skill. When considering a life or death scenario...or permanent disability...why risk anything less than the very best.

Dr Stephen Halcrow performed a procedure requring an LP shunt placed to help resolve consistant high pressures on my brain. I found Dr Halcrow to be diligent, professional and knolledgable with a very high work ethic. Straight to the point when discussing all aspects of my condition and what to expect from the surgery he would be performing. I seen Dr Halcrow on the Monday and he schedualed me for surgery that Thursday as I was suffering mentally and physically and he did not want my symptoms to worsen. I found this to be exceedingly fast and very compassionate considering the wait for any procedure in the public hospital at present. I have known of others with the same condition as me who waited weeks for this same procedure by an alternate docotor. His team and the aftercare were also fantastic. Making sure that my condition was resolved before leaving hospital. My pain was also treated remarkably well which was difficult as I suffer from chronic pain. As my condition is extremely rare, I was not confident and very reluctant to have this surgery but after my first appointment with Dr Halcrow, I was put at ease and reaasured about the surgery feeling informed of the procedure and tecnicalities. Dr Halcrows specialty and professionalism in neurosurgery is reflected in the outcome of procedures performed. I am very grateful to Dr Halcrow and his team at the Canberra Hospital.
