With a special interest in advanced spinal techniques—including endoscopic surgery, robotics, and complex reconstructive procedures—Dr Dower is dedicated to combining evidence-based medicine with innovative surgical approaches to maximise patient safety, enhance recovery, and improve long-term outcomes.

Dr Dower holds a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Honours Class I) and a Doctor of Medicine from the University of New South Wales.
