Treatment Specialties

Spine Care

Our team includes board-certified spine surgeons who are considered pioneers among their peers, with specialties including neuroglia and orthopedic spine challenges.

Though each is an expert in their own right, our surgeons are highly collaborative, working together to diagnose, treat, and heal spinal conditions, often in an outpatient setting.

Most of our surgery is minimally invasive, using many proven techniques pioneered by our surgeons themselves. These include the use of microscopic incisions that heal faster than traditional surgical interventions, as well as techniques that lessen scarring and speed up recovery time.
