Welcome to McMaster University Division of Neurosurgery, where our clinical, research and educational strengths combine to form a comprehensive and innovative neurosurgery program, providing the highest quality of dedicated neurosurgical care to our community.

The Division of Neurosurgery at McMaster University is comprised of talented, dedicated and highly skilled neurosurgeons, offering a complete spectrum of neurosurgical care for both adult and pediatric patients. We provide a thorough evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve, with subspecialty trained neurosurgeons.  Through both inpatient and outpatient services we offer a high standard of individualized care to each of our patients, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Sunjay Sharma (Head of Service, Neurosurgery, Hamilton General Hospital) and Dr. Femi Ajani (Head of Service, Pediatric Neurosurgery, McMaster Children’s Hospital).

As a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada accredited training program, our talented and highly educated surgeons stay current with ongoing training methodologies and research to offer world class care to our patients.  Under the guidance of residency program director Dr. Blake Yarascavitch, our program offers an exceptional training experience that engages our residents and learners and provides them with the skills they require to succeed in careers in academic neurosurgery.
