We have neurosurgical as well as orthopedic spinal specialists on staff who frequently collaborate together. This surgical synergy, unlike single-specialty medical practices, allows us to provide comprehensive spinal care from the perspective of both orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery. We are the only medical center in Gainesville, Woodbridge, or Manassas offering these benefits.
The procedures we perform include kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF), endoscopic discectomy, microdiscectomy, foraminotomy, lumbar laminectomy, artificial disc replacement (including ProDisc-C), and minimally invasive spine fusion. We also use surgical procedures as a last resort, once all other treatment methods have been tried. We believe using minimally invasive procedures, and we regard patient safety and mobility as our primary focus.
Our surgeons can discuss if you are a candidate for the following procedures at our Gainesville, Woodbridge, or Manassas offices:
Our procedures meet surgical needs in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine due to:
There is an intense level of public interest, research, and increasing recognition of pain as a primary problem in and of itself. Historically taught as an important symptom of disease, a new realization in the medical community now identifies pain as the only real problem for many patients. Pain often is the disease process, rather than a mere symptom of an ongoing disease. Within this area, interventional pain management is the discipline of using minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat pain.
Interventional pain management is the use of precise, state of the art techniques for percutaneous treatment of painful conditions. These are effective needle- and probe-using techniques, which minimize patient discomfort while avoiding many expenses as well as surgical and anesthetic risks. Our approach maximizes efficiency and improves outcomes while also providing valuable diagnostic information, which can guide and reinforce multidisciplinary efforts.
We specialize in the management of the following causes of pain:
We offer a full range of neurological services. These include diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of the full spectrum of surgical problems of brain and spinal cord. We recognize that the diagnosis of a brain or spinal cord tumor is intimidating. We offer a compassionate, patient-oriented approach to provide treatment for these disorders.
Additionally, our neurosurgeon is trained in the latest techniques used for treating brain tumors of all varieties. We offer the latest in brain navigation – a minimally invasive way to navigate around the brain to pinpoint the problem area, without causing disruption of normal brain tissue. We present patients with all the options available to them for the treatment of their diagnosis. This may be surgical or non-surgical, depending on the condition. Conditions treated by our physicians include:
We practice the latest techniques in brain surgery (craniotomy, mini-craniotomy, keyhole craniotomy) and we offer minimally invasive tumor biopsies (stereotactic biopsy).

Spine surgery is usually not necessary. We utilize advanced medical technology and our team of experienced neurosurgical and orthopedic spinal specialists to provide our patients with effective minimally invasive surgical options.
