Biography & Education
About Mr George Prezerakos
Mr George Prezerakos is a consultant neurosurgeon who specialises exclusively in spinal problems. His NHS practice is based at the National Hospital for Neurosurgery London, rated in the top three specialised hospitals in the world.
Mr Prezerakos works in partnership with his patients and addresses problems such as back, neck and sciatic pain to complex pathologies such as spinal tumours, fractures and deformity. When surgery is required, he employs minimally invasive techniques such as tubular access keyhole surgery, motion preservation technologies, computer navigation and open approaches as dictated by each patient's clinical need.
Mr Prezerakos specialised in spinal surgery by completing the prestigious Victor Horsley spinal fellowship, based at the National Hospital for Neurosurgery and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He sub-specialised further at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell in New York with a focus on minimal access computer navigated spinal surgery.
Mr Prezerakos has presented research in artificial disc spinal motion preservation at international level and has published in tumour excision techniques and cervical deformity correction. He was awarded the Inchape educational grant as well as the Pain Section prize by the American College of Neurosurgical Societies. The British Association of Spinal Surgeons awarded him the President’s travelling fellowship in 2016.
Mr Prezerakos holds the position of Hon. Associate Professor at the Institute of Neurology UCL, he teaches medical students and surgical trainees regularly, whilst his current research interests include incorporating the patient experience into decision making.
