A few words about us

Townsville Neurosciences was formed in 2014, in response to the three founding Doctors wanting to establish a strong, focused Neurology service in North Queensland.  Each of the three founding Doctors were already established in the Townsville region, but could see tremendous benefit to combining experiences and expertise to offer a single Clinic for Neurological requirements in the area.

Dr White, Dr Boggild and Dr Urkude, together with specialist nurses Sharon Edwards and Rachael White, and practice manager Sara Whittle, operate a single consultancy operating across all elements of Neurology.  Be assured you are in good hands with our expert team!
