subspecialties with close to 1000 major cases per year. The
spine service provides the most advanced treatment for all
spinal disorders including degenerative, deformity, trauma,
infection, and neoplasm. All faculty members perform routine
spinal decompression and diskectomy but there are currently four
faculty members who perform spinal instrumentation. All aspects
of spinal surgery are practiced including image guided and
minimally invasive spinal surgery, endoscopy, kyphoplasty, and
artificial disc replacement. A one-year fellowship has been
established. Following his completion of this fellowship, Dr.
