Spine & Neck Care

Improving lives of patients with exceptional care

We believe there’s no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to spine and neck care. Each patient is unique and deserves personalized treatment. That’s why our comprehensive care starts with a conversation.

When you call, our team will ask you a series of questions about your symptoms and medical history. By gathering this information, we can begin to understand your needs before you even come in for an appointment.

Our goal is to match you with the right specialist and schedule your appointment promptly.

A Collaborative Approach to Care

Our team of specialists

Whether you’re experiencing chronic pain or have suffered a recent injury, our experts are here to help. Our multi-disciplinary team includes neurological and orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, anesthesia and interventional pain physicians, physical therapists, and physician extenders. Together, we coordinate your care to ensure you return to your best function as quickly and safely as possible.

Conservative methods

We use innovative, nonsurgical treatments first, such as physical therapy, physiatry, and pain management. The goal is to relieve your symptoms without surgery.

Highly experienced

If we determine surgery is the most effective treatment option, our board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeons are some of the most trusted in the region. They use minimally invasive techniques to perform precise, effective procedures, and treat a large number of patients each year.
