Our orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons offer the latest spine procedures, including, when appropriate, minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries. Minimally invasive spine surgery approaches are performed with great precision and allow your surgeon to access your spine through small incisions that cause less disruption to surrounding muscles and body tissues than traditional surgery. For you, this means less pain and a quicker recovery.
Some of the surgical procedures we offer are:
- Anterior cervical discectomy
- Cervical fusion
- Disc replacement
- Kyphoplasty

- Lumbar laminectomy
- Microdiscectomy
