Advanced Treatment & Surgery

Comprehensive, multidisciplinary spine care

As a comprehensive, multidisciplinary center, we offer complete care of the spine, including both nonsurgical and surgical treatments. Our full-service office is designed to meet all of our patients’ needs conveniently in one place. Diagnostic tests, such as nerve studies and imaging studies, pain-relieving injections and physical therapy are all provided on-site at our office.

Our focus on patients

We know that spinal problems can be overwhelming for patients. Our physicians are skilled specialists, but they’re also amazing listeners. They take time to talk with patients about their concerns, spend time answering questions and ensure that patients thoroughly understand their treatment plan and, if surgery is indicated, the procedure they will undergo.

We are able to treat 90 percent of our patients without surgery.
