They offer the best advancements in spine surgery for patients with degenerative disease of the spine, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, and other conditions. Both doctors have actually developed and patented procedures and devices to help give patients the best treatment possible. Their ability to correct scoliosis with a novel correction approach is the first in the country and has been featured on ABC news- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKz0LgNyiSY
