About Dr. Kazemi

Clinical Biography

Noojan Kazemi, M.D., FACS, FRACS, received his medical degree from the University of Sydney and completed his neurosurgery residency through the various training hospitals of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, including the Royal North Shore and the Royal Melbourne Hospitals. He also completed a two-year neurosurgery research fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Following residency, he obtained his fellowship training in complex spine surgery in both the Departments of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery at the University of Washington, followed by a minimally-invasive spine and brain tumor surgery fellowship at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute in Seattle, Washington.

Dr. Kazemi is board certified through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.  He has numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals on topics such as spinal tumors, minimally-invasive surgery and craniocervical distraction injuries. He has also authored several book chapters in major neurosurgery textbooks.

His main clinical interests include all aspects of spine and peripheral nerve surgery but in particular minimally invasive surgical approaches to the spine, including treatment of deformities and tumor conditions — as well as utilization of the newest techniques in peripheral nerve surgery. His academic interest lies in the application of evidence-based techniques to the practice of neurosurgery.

Dr Kazemi was fantastic in explaining what he feels is going on. He set me up with imaging apt and pain medicine apt. He's very thorough and caring in his care. His staff have been terrific too. I was able to reach his nursing team immediately and did not have to wait for a call back. They provided me with phone numbers to imaging and pain clinic. Great caring physician and team.

Your appointments are too far apart and you never know when they're going to be because they change them so much and you don't know where you're going and then maybe keep coming back and back and back and got nothing done yet.

I logged in early for a video tele-health appointment and answered five modules of existing health questions. After 30 minutes beyond the appointment time, I called Neuro-Surgery for status. I was advised to end of the video call, the doctor was behind and would call by telephone.
