TeleMedicine Provider | Open NowRobert A. Rovner, M.D. has over 36 years’ experience using minimally invasive techniques and microsurgery for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar discectomy, spine fusion, spine reconstruction, and decompression surgery for sciatica. He treats pediatric and adult deformities such as scoliosis as well as traumatic injuries such as disc herniations, spinal fractures, and conditions such as spinal stenosis and disc degeneration. Dr. Rovner has recently built a new office with numerous spine models and computers in each exam room to visually educate each patient about their condition(s) affecting their spine. His staff engages personally with patients and makes sure they have a cell phone number to easily correspond for important issues.

He offers the best advancements in spine surgery for patients with degenerative disease of the …spine, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, and other conditions. He has developed and patented procedures and devices to help give patients the best treatment possible. His ability to correct scoliosis with his novel correction approach is the first in the country and has been featured on the news for unique scoliosis correction surgery and uses his own highly successful patented technique to normalize the scoliosis curve including removal of the rib hump without having to perform a thoracotomy.
