Specialist Neurosurgeon

Specialist neurosurgical care centered on patient quality of life.

"Precision is not only found in surgery, but in decision-making. Thoughtful care means choosing the right path, at the right time, for the right reasons - always with the patient at the centre."

About me

Dr Wickus Neethling is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with a comprehensive clinical practice spanning the full spectrum of spinal and cranial pathology. He has a particular interest in complex cervical conditions, as well as metastatic and primary spinal tumours. He believes that surgery should always be a carefully considered decision, prioritising conservative management whenever appropriate and reserving operative intervention for cases where it offers clear, meaningful benefit.

Our Philosophy:
"Treat the Patient, Not the Scan"

Conservative Management

We explore non-invasive options - such as medication, physiotherapy, and pain management - whenever safe.

Surgical Precision

Surgery is recommended only when it offers the clearest path to preserving function and improving your quality of life.

Shared Decision-Making

Every treatment plan is developed collaboratively, ensuring that you fully understand your condition, your options, and the reasoning behind each recommendation.
