After completing residency training in neurological surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, and a neurosurgical trauma fellowship at the Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, Dr. Moffatt entered private practice in Southern California. He became board-certified in neurological surgery and traveled to Orlando, Florida, in 1996.Dr. Moffatt’s practice combined both brain and spine surgery through most of his career. He moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia, and began specializing in complex spine surgery, spinal instrumentation and fusion. He then spent eight years improving his approach to minimally invasive spine surgery at a major outpatient surgery center before practicing with Laser Spine Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a number of years.He brings a wealth of knowledge and years of surgical experience to Phoenix Spine and feels this is a perfect fit for his unique approach to spine surgery. His philosophy is to make each patient an expert in their …own spinal circumstances and to realistically set their expectations as to what both surgical and nonsurgical interventions can produce.

Had neck and Lumbar surgery from DR Moffatt in 2015 while he was with Laser Spine Institute in Scottsdale. My pain increased and I no longer walked normal. They said everyone reacts different to surgery. 2 months later when pain persisted, I was given a colloidal injection, it felt like fish hooks ripping my back for the next 2 days. I found out later some of laser spine injections came from a collective in Florida and contained particulates. Now 6 years later and I am still in extreme pain, and have been less stable (fall down a lot) since the 2015 surgery Dr Moffatt performed. If he is doing your surgery, leave.

I had a Herniated Disc problem in 2018. Bruce Moffatt from Bonati Spine Institute, Las Vegas NV suggested a Laminectomy with 100% guarantee. So, I decided to proceed, after surgery he said it failed, sorry. My pain increased 2 days after surgery. I had to rush to Fusion. The doctor said the laminectomy was totally not fit for my problem. I complained to Bonati. The owner of the Bonati spine institute as well called and told me the procedure or surgery was totally wrong what Bruce did. But he doesn’t want to compensate for anything. Since then at the surgery point I feel so much pain and radiating all the way down to my hand since then.

I was in a lot of back pain. When I first went to the Bonati Spine Institute and I am very thankful for Dr. Moffatt and the staff. The staff were wonderful from the time I walked into the door until the time I left. Dr. Moffatt was very informative, caring, and explain the procedure to me before, during and after. I am very thankful for the support and care that I recieved while I was a patient there. I am still pain free and enjoying life with family.

overall it was a good experience. im not 100%, but then we weren't 100% sure what the problem was. Moffatt was very nice, and was very concerned with trying to get my problems solved. the staff was great. so nice, so helpful, and the facility was very nice too.
