Neurosurgeon, Orthopaedic Surgeon in Boulder, Colorado (CO)

Dr. Villavicencio is a board certified, fellowship trained neurosurgeon with Boulder Neurosurgical & Spine Associates.  Dr. Villavicencio treats all types of brain and spinal disorders. He is one of only a handful of spine surgeons in the country that has dual training in both neurological surgery and orthopedic spine surgery. He initially focuses on conservative management of the patient.

If surgery is necessary, Dr. Villavicencio utilizes state of the art minimally invasive surgical techniques such as intraoperative three-dimensional fluoroscopy-based computerized tomography guidance for percutaneous kyphoplasty reduction of vertebral fractures. This and other techniques were developed by Dr. Villavicencio himself.  Patients who previously underwent several hour surgeries and several day hospitalizations can now sometimes be treated as outpatients. He is applying these techniques to all aspects of spinal disorders, including those involving complex instrumentation and deformity correction as well as endoscopic spinal surgery.
