Areas of Expertise Delivering High Quality Care to Patients

Expertise

  • Complex Spine
    Surgery

    Complex spine surgery addresses severe spinal deformities, trauma, or degenerative conditions requiring advanced techniques. It often involves multi-level fusion, reconstruction, and stabilization to restore spinal alignment, relieve pain, and improve function in complex cases.

  • Minimally Invasive
    Spine Surgery (MISS)

    Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is the latest technology available to perform spinal surgeries through small, less than one-inch-long incisions. It involves the use of special surgical instruments, devices and advanced imaging techniques to visualize and perform the surgery through such small incisions

  • Motion Preservation
    Surgery

    Motion preservation surgery aims to maintain natural spinal movement while treating degenerative conditions. Techniques like artificial disc replacement and dynamic stabilization help reduce stress on adjacent levels, preserving flexibility and function while alleviating pain.

  • Spine
    Arthroplasty

    Spine arthroplasty replaces damaged spinal discs with artificial implants to restore motion and alleviate pain. It is an alternative to fusion, particularly in the cervical and lumbar spine, preserving movement while reducing degeneration in adjacent segments.

  • Endoscopic
    Spine Surgery

    Endoscopic spine surgery uses a small camera and specialized instruments through tiny incisions to treat spinal conditions. This technique minimizes trauma, reduces scarring, and allows faster recovery while effectively addressing disc herniations, stenosis, and other issues.
