Why Choose Us?
At Northwest Spine Surgery, our providers have a combined experience of over 100 years! We specialize in the surgical treatment of disorders of the spine. This may be either degenerative in nature (the typical wear and tear of our spine with aging and activity) or it may be a traumatic injury (such as a work injury or motor vehicle collision).
Unless progressive loss of function or severe pain requires a more rapid operative intervention, we take care to pursue conservative measures to the fullest extent before recommending surgery.
We also have a great deal of experience in working with the complexities of motor vehicle or work injuries and are familiar with many attorneys in the Portland Metro area. Together, we strive for the best possible outcome for the patient. We pride ourselves on our quality of patient care and expertise.
