Spine Surgery

Neurosurgeons are instrumental in the surgical treatment of spinal disorders, and in fact, over two-thirds of all surgeries performed by neurosurgeons are for spine disorders and injuries. Our spine surgeons provide intensive education to patients, and maintain close working relationships with referring physicians by keeping them apprised of their patients’ initial visits, hospital stays, and follow-up visits.

Our spine specialists includes neurosurgeons Greg Helm, Mark Shaffrey, Justin Smith, Dennis Vollmer and Chun-Po Yen.
