Sami Raunio

I am a Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon with over 20 years of experience. I completed my specialist training in Finland in 2006, followed by a Fellowship in spinal surgery in Singapore. Since 2017, I have been working in New Zealand and have enjoyed caring for patients from all walks of life.

My areas of interest include brain and spinal conditions, including brain tumours, vascular conditions, nerve problems, head trauma and hydrocephalus. I also commonly treat neck and back pain, particularly when pain travels into the arms or legs.

I believe in taking the time to understand each patient and tailor treatment to their individual needs. My goal is to help patients understand their condition and feel comfortable and confident in making decisions about their care.

Outside of work, I enjoy cycling and exploring the beautiful New Zealand outdoors with my wife.
