Australian-trained neurosurgeon specialising in minimally invasive and complex spinal reconstruction, brain and spine tumours, and cerebrovascular surgery, delivering precision care focused on long-term function, mobility, and patient outcomes.
ABOUT DR SHER
Dr Reece Sher is an Australian-trained neurosurgeon with advanced expertise in minimally invasive and complex spinal reconstruction, neuro-oncology (brain and spine tumours), and cerebrovascular surgery. His practice focuses on managing conditions that require a high level of technical planning, multidisciplinary coordination, and long-term outcome optimisation.
With a background in diagnostic radiography, post-fellowship subspecialty training, and active clinical research, Dr Sher brings a systems-level approach to both surgical decision-making and patient care.
CLINICAL PHILOSOPHY
Preserve mobility. Restore function. Minimise risk.
Dr Sher’s approach is centred on delivering the least invasive and most effective strategy appropriate for each patient. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s anatomy, condition, and recovery goals, with an emphasis on safety, precision, and durable outcomes.
SURGICAL EXPERTISE & TECHNOLOGY
Dr Sher has trained with more than 30 leading neurosurgeons and orthopaedic spine surgeons across Australia and internationally. He is proficient in both traditional open and advanced keyhole techniques and routinely integrates:
- Stereotactic navigation
- Intraoperative neuromonitoring
- Robotic-assisted systems
- Brain and spine endoscopy
- Intraoperative imaging where necessary, including CT, X-ray, and sonography
These technologies are used to support intraoperative visualisation, guidance, and technical precision, selected where clinically indicated.
ACADEMIC & TEACHING LEADERSHIP
Dr Sher is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at Monash University, Chair of the Monash Combined Neuroscience Meetings, and Founder and Convenor of the annual Monash Spine Symposium.
He teaches medical students and neurosurgical registrars and runs cadaveric training programs in advanced spinal techniques for colleagues. He leads and collaborates on local and international research initiatives and is regularly invited to teach and present at major national and international conferences.
CARE PATHWAYS
Patients benefit from a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach that extends beyond the operating theatre. Dr Sher works closely with physicians, physiotherapists, and allied health professionals to support assessment, surgical planning, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery.
