Spine Center

Our multidisciplinary approach ensures the best patient outcomes while reducing treatment time and stress on patients.

We take a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to treat the full range of degenerative, traumatic, oncologic, vascular and congenital conditions of the spine. We treat the entire patient, listening to his or her concerns and consulting across a variety of disciplines to find the appropriate decompression surgery and/or spine reconstruction path that meets his or her needs.

With an all-in-one location, we deliver more than patient convenience. Our center allows patients to be evaluated by a close-knit group of specialists in neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation medicine and pain management to ensure the creation of the optimal and least invasive treatment plan. Your Montefiore Comprehensive Spine Center team is committed to working together to realize the best patient outcomes.

Specialization for Patient Care

We encourage each surgeon in our program to have an area of specific specialization, focus and interest within the discipline of spinal surgery, often referred to as subspecialization. This expertise spans nerve and spinal cord compression syndromes, peripheral nerve entrapment, intradural spine and nerve sheath tumors, tumors affecting the spinal column and scoliotic deformities of the spine.
