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.

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.
