Mark Nowell
Mark Nowell is a Consultant Neurosurgical Spine Surgeon based in Bristol. Mark specialises in the treatment of degenerative disease affecting the neck and back. He places great emphasis on:
Mark’s philosophy is patient-centred care, clear choices and supported decision-making. He is a proponent of minimally invasive interventions to reduce recovery time and restore function more quickly.
Mark records outcome measures for all his patients undergoing a surgical procedure on the British Spine Registry. This allows him to monitor the progress of his patients after any intervention.

Mark has completed complex spine surgery fellowships at Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, Queen Square Hospital, London and Leeds General Infirmary. He was awarded the British Association of Spinal Surgery Travelling Fellowship in 2017.
He is a new generation of spine surgeons with experience in orthopaedic and neurosurgical training, offering the full spectrum of surgical treatments.
