About Our Practice:
We are committed to the highest standard of excellence and compassion in the treatment of patients with spinal disorders. We treat the full spectrum of general and complex spinal conditions. We employ both conventional and "cutting-edge" operative and non-operative techniques. We have particular expertise and training in minimally invasive spinal surgery and artificial disc replacement. We emphasize the application of evidence-based management paradigms, and meticulous attention to technical detail surgically to achieve the optimal result for the patient in terms of relief of pain and restoration of mechanical and neurological function. Conditions commonly treated include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, spinal trauma/tumors/infections, and osteoporotic compression fractures.
