Brain and spine care you can trust, from a neurosurgeon who listens
Board-certified neurosurgeon in Austin with 18 years of experience and more than 4,000 procedures — focused on the least-invasive path back to the life you want.
Our Services
Dr. James Bowen is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive brain and spine surgery. For nearly two decades he has helped patients across Central Texas move past chronic pain and neurological conditions and get back to the things they love. His approach is simple: an accurate diagnosis first, then the least-invasive treatment that can actually solve the problem. Many of the patients he sees never need an operation at all — and for those who do, he favors techniques that mean smaller incisions, less time in the hospital, and a faster recovery. Dr. Bowen trained at some of the most respected programs in the country and has performed more than 4,000 procedures. His research on minimally invasive spine surgery has helped shape how the procedure is taught to the next generation of surgeons. Above all, he believes patients deserve a clear explanation, honest options, and a plan built around their goals — not a rushed appointment.
