About Us
You deserve the best care and treatment possible. Orthopedic surgery is highly specialized and the techniques used must be accurate and precise, as there is no room for error. Not all neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons are qualified to be considered spine surgeons. A true spine surgeon is a sub-specialty trained physician. His training goes beyond what is required for orthopedic surgeons and includes fellowship training specifically for spine surgery, an intensive period of study where specialized skills are acquired and perfected.
