Advanced Neurosurgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery uses small incisions and advanced tools to reduce muscle damage, scarring, and recovery time. It treats conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and sciatica. Patients benefit from less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster healing compared to traditional open surgery.

Artificial Disc Replacement replaces damaged discs with prosthetics to maintain spinal flexibility. It addresses degenerative disc disease and herniations, offering an alternative to fusion. This procedure preserves motion and reduces adjacent segment stress, enhancing long-term mobility.

Spine Tumor Resections involve removing benign or malignant growths compressing the spinal cord or nerves. Techniques include preoperative embolization and en bloc resection. The goal is to alleviate pain, prevent neurological damage, and improve quality of life through targeted intervention.

Herniated Disc Decompression relieves nerve pressure caused by protruding discs. Procedures like microdiscectomy and laminectomy remove damaged tissue to reduce pain and restore function. Minimally invasive approaches ensure quicker recovery and minimal tissue disruption for optimal outcomes.

Regenerative Medicine harnesses the bodys stem cells to repair orthopedic and spinal injuries. Bone marrow-derived cells target chronic pain and degeneration, offering non-surgical solutions for conditions like arthritis and disc damage. This approach promotes natural healing and tissue regeneration without rejection risks.

Dr. Michael Song and his staff are very professional. I was in pain for 9 months straight until Dr. Song was referred to me and I had C3 through C7 operated on. It's been a years since my surgery and I am pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Song.

I continue to be impressed and pleased with the excellent level of care received. Dr Song and his staff are kind, efficient, and technically awesome. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Song and his practice to anyone requiring his specialized care. Thank You One And All,

After three surgeries on my back I have triple the confidence in Dr. Michael Song. My first surgery was a emergency after breaking my back. The second surgery was to repair my stenotic neck. And the third to correct a problem in my lumbar spine. This all happened in a matter of 2 years. I will always be grateful to him for coming to my rescue the first time and then continuing to do his good work on the rest of my spine.

I recently had C4-C7 with a plate. Too early to rate the outcome of the surgery, I've have struggled for years with back pain. I had always thought it was my t-spine, needless to say the PA at Dr. Song's office advised we look at the neck. The finding was 2 major & 1 moderate spinal cord impingements and exterior nerve damage. Praying this surgery addresses years of pain. Thank you Dr. Song, Ashlee, Tara and Jolie. Your team has been wonderful to work with.

I broke my neck, specifically my C6, due to a crazy accident. After hearing that in the ER, I was pretty worried. I am 23 years old so the thought of having neck surgery scared me. I had a PA come and talk to me about how I am feeling as well as running tests to see the extent of the injury. Given my age Dr. Song was conservative and hoped my neck would heal up in a neck brace. At my 8 week check in, it wasn't healing so unfortunately it was surgery.

They got me scheduled as soon as possible, due to Covid and other unfortunate incidents it had to be pushed back. However, after every time Dr. Some would call and explain and apologize. When the day came when I could, Dr. Song being the amazing surgeon that he is, I was in and out within 3 hours. He explained everything before hand and answered any questions I had. Due to my anatomy of my neck, Dr.

Song needed to change the angle of my surgery and he did so flawlessly. Since recovery has been great, with any questions I had I was able to contact either office and get an answer back that day. Would absolutely reckoned them as they are amazing and caring.
