Thanks to our years of research, we have successfully become contracted with most major insurance carriers for our services and we also work with most Workman's Compensation carriers. MicroSpine is a Medicare Approved Facility which is required for reimbursement by most insurance companies. High quality care doesn't have to be excessively expensive and as usual MicroSpine is leading the way. If we are not contracted with your insurance we offer a global cost for under $8960 or less!

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE - MICROSPINE

MicroSpine represents the future of endoscopic laser spine surgery. We specialize in treating patients with prior failed spinal surgeries and fusions. MicroSpine manufactures special instruments and develops new techniques to perform the most complex microscopic laser spinal surgeries through portals of 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch. The science of spine surgery is ever changing and MicroSpine is the one changing it. Our surgeons have performed over 7000 minimally invasive spinal surgeries and most of our patients are referred by other prior satisfied patients and not promotional seminars or expensive advertising. Our staff has personally pioneered the development of many endoscopic spinal techniques including; endoscopic sacroiliac joint surgery, endoscopic facet surgery for spinal arthritis, endoscopic laminoforaminoplasty and thoracic percutaneous laser discectomy. Since we are the originators, we regularly publish our findings in peer reviewed journals and are world recognized for our advancements in endoscopic spinal surgery.

Unlike others, we don't claim to perform minimally invasive spinal surgery and then offer you a major fusion or an incision of greater than one inch. All of our spine surgeries are minimally invasive and no one has more advanced spinal surgical techniques than us. Our minimally invasive spine surgery techniques are so advanced that patients who have failed "minimally invasive spine surgery" from other centers regularly benefit from our procedures. We are spine surgery specialists and nothing else. We don't make outrageous promises or stop caring for you once you're gone. We may not spend millions on advertising, seminars or fancy websites because we would rather spend our time and money caring for you "the patient". We try to contract with insurance companies whenever possible to keep your costs down.

MicroSpine is a small doctor owned company and thus we can keep your costs low since we try to put you first instead of corporate investors and thus you get the best care, at the best price, by the best M.D.'s who are here to help you get better. As we always say, once you're our patient, you're always our patient.

Why Should You Choose MicroSpine?

	*No Incision of Larger than One Inch*1. (Some centers utilize tubular retractor systems that are up to 26mm in diameter which causes an incision of up to three inches which is no different than an open surgery)
	*No Cell Saver*2 (Cell saver is an auto-transfusion which is used by most other minimally invasive spine surgeons but is not required by our surgeons since blood loss is minimal via Microspine surgery techniques.
	All of our physicians are Board Certified M.D.'s and have hospital privileges (Click Here to Learn About Board Certification and Medical Doctoral Degrees)
	No Hospital Stay is required3. (But all of our M.D.'s have hospital privileges)
	No Expensive Physical Therapy is needed4.
	No General Anesthesia is Required (Sedation only which is much safer)5
	No Guessing on Your Diagnosis. (Our unique pain mapping techniques confirm your diagnosis before surgery and thus improves your success and helps to eliminate unnecessary procedures)

What Can MicroSpine Do For Me?

We specialize in "Incurable" back pain, leg pain, cervical pain, failed back syndrome, failed spine surgery syndrome, headache, spinal stenosis, thoracic pain, radiculopathy, spondylolisthesis, and disc herniation. We can often resolve pain due to prior spine surgeries and spine fusions! You don't need a 6 to 12 inch incision, and you probably don't need a fusion or metallic disc to cure your pain. With conventional spine surgery, recovery time is months, but with our endoscopic spine surgery procedures, you can walk the same day as your spine surgery! If you smoke, you don't need to stop to have spine surgery. Our physicians have performed thousands of minimally invasive spinal surgeries. All of our Doctors are Board Certified Medical Doctors (M.D.) and have outstanding credentials which we proudly display on this site. In fact, we challenge you to compare our credentials to other spine surgeons on the state medical board sites.

Disclaimer: MicroSpine's surgeries are an alternative to conventional surgery and thus both conventional surgery or our endoscopic surgeries may benefit your condition. No spine surgery is 100% effective in every patient and there is never a guarantee with any surgery. Nonetheless, we offer a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgery that may resolve your condition..

Footnotes (we want to be clear about the above statements)

1. Our surgeries are truly minimally invasive which is defined as an incision of less than one inch. (If the incision is greater than one inch then it is a convention surgery and more invasive.) Occasionally, for endoscopic hardware removal, an incision of slightly greater than one inch is required for removal of the screws or rods of the hardware.

2. Cell Saver is a machine that attempts to recycle your blood after it is lost during surgery. These devices are only utilized for cases with excessive bleeding and thus we never utilize them but many other minimally invasive spine surgeons do. The question is why do they need these devices if the surgery is truly minimally invasive?

3. Rarely a patient does require a hospital admission but occasionally it occurs. If an admission does occur, you can be sure that our staff and not some unknown doctor will be in charge of your care.

4. Our surgeries don't require P.T. in most cases but we allow it if you desire P.T. and thus it can be worked into your treatment when you return home.

5. Our surgeries offer a heavy sedation that allows comfort but safety during the surgery with our patent pending sedation mixture.

6. MicroSpine Has treated patients from around the globe and nearly every continent except Antarctica.
