Experience. Dr. Katzman, our Chief Surgeon, has been doing Artificial Disc Replacements for over 10 years. He is currently one of the leading surgeons in the US for this procedure.
These all lead to outpatient surgery, less to minimal pain, and zero infections. Avoiding a hospital, meticulous surgical techniques and short surgical times help create the highest chance of success for our patients.
The artificial disc replacement offers painless motion to the injured cervical disc segment. In the past, the only reliable curative solution was a fusion. The problem is that the fusion removed any motion between repaired degenerative disc segments, only to stress the adjacent segments with stiffness and torque, causing them to wear down faster. The artificial disc was invented to stop the premature aging caused by fusion.

Dr. Katzman specializes in both minimally invasive spine surgery and laser surgery. He has lectured throughout the world teaching and promulgating his techniques. Dr. Katzman has been helping his patients with endoscopic and percutaneous discectomy since he was first trained in 1989. He has advanced his skills for last few decades in minimally invasive laser spine surgery and discectomy. He also performs spinal disc replacements and fusions with a very special technique that is gentle to the human tissue, so his patients are able to have outpatient surgery- including fusions and disc replacements. Dr. Katzman has invented some of his own spinal implants. If your condition requires it, some of his specially designed implants may be used to help your back problem.
