Specialty

Anterior Spinal Exposures

Anterior spinal surgery requires precise access to the front of the vertebral column — a technically demanding approach that calls for a dedicated surgical exposurist working alongside the spine surgeon. This collaboration is essential for procedures addressing degenerative disc disease, spinal deformity, trauma, and tumor resection.

Our surgeons specialize exclusively in the exposure component, bringing focused expertise that reduces operative time, minimizes vascular and visceral risk, and supports optimal outcomes for both patients and referring spine surgeons.

Specialty

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) occurs when nerves, arteries, or veins in the space between the collarbone and first rib become compressed. It is frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated — yet for patients with true TOS, surgical decompression can be transformative.

We offer comprehensive evaluation and surgical treatment for all three subtypes of TOS — neurogenic, venous, and arterial — with a meticulous approach that prioritizes complete decompression and durable relief. Our experience with this complex condition sets us apart in the region.
