Benny "J" Jonker

Fellow in Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery - 2003

Ben has the stereotypical baby face. We were sure some of his patients would question his age when he came to work for us at the Centre. It never happened. His youthful looks invoke an initial response of trepidation but one soon changes one's attitude when he displays an impressive knowledge of neurosurgery and demonstrates wisdom and compassion, and trepidation soon gives way to total "tell me where to sign" confidence. Ben was a delight to have at the Centre and showed maturity in his neurosurgical decision making well beyond his years.
