...nationally recognized for their superb clinical expertise

Our physicians are a highly dedicated and experienced team with each having completed additional fellowship training in their specialty. Not all physicians become board certified or obtain advanced training to practice medicine. The commitment of our physicians is evident with having these credentials that reflect the development of advanced skills, knowledge and clinical expertise in the treatment and conditions of the spine.

Southeastern Spine Center's team of physicians is devoted to provide the most advanced and sophisticated treatments available for spinal conditions. They specialize in personalized, patient-focused care while developing the plan of treatment, whether it includes conservative medical treatment options or surgical intervention. While our physicians specialize in the minimally-invasive procedures, they also perform traditional open spine surgeries.

Striving to stay on the "cutting edge" with technological techniques and new procedures is an expectation of each of the physicians at Southeastern Spine Center. Our goal is to provide our patients with the best treatments available to achieve the desired outcome. As part of that commitment, our physicians participate in research and development of surgical instrumentation, serve as training instructors for other surgeons on surgical techniques, and participate in clinical research.

Clinical Research Projects

Southeastern Spine Center, in an effort to provide excellence in care, objectively evaluates outcomes of its non-operative and operative care for people with spinal disorders. As part of this, we publish information regarding various techniques used and their outcomes. Some topics currently under investigation include: (1) A comparison of minimally invasive endoscopic interbody fusion with open interbody fusion. This is a multi-centered study being conducted around the United States with several universities and with individuals in the armed forces. (2) A retrospective evaluation of open versus endoscopic lumbar decompression, fusion and instrumentation. This study has demonstrated the obvious benefits of performing minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. (3) A study in comparing upright MRI with flexion and extension to supine MRI for differentiating clinical findings in conjunction with an MRI Center.

Surgical Implants Development

Southeastern Spine Center has participated in the development of new surgical implants, which have made substantial improvements over previously used technologies. These include metallic implants for treatment of both cervical and lumbar spinal disorders.
