Meet our Spine Specialists

Our team of spinal experts conducts a Weekly Spine Conference, at which surgeons discuss in-house cases and review complex spinal cases which are referred from around the world. This allows physicians at the Georgia Regents Medical Center Spine Clinic to gain unparalleled experience and improve patient care and outcomes.
