Services

Robotic Spine Surgery

Our center exclusively offers robotically assisted endoscopic spine surgery using the Mazor system. This technology ensures precise implant placement for complex spinal conditions. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times and enhanced surgical accuracy through this advanced approach.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

We specialize in transforaminal endoscopic techniques for disc herniations and spinal stenosis. This minimally invasive method allows direct visualization and treatment of spinal issues with minimal tissue disruption. Patients experience faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional approaches.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

As Michigan's first provider of Gamma Knife technology, we treat brain tumors and vascular malformations with submillimeter precision. This non-invasive option delivers focused radiation while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. It's particularly effective for complex cases previously requiring open surgery.

Computer Assisted Surgery

Our computer-guided systems enhance surgical planning and execution through real-time imaging integration. This technology improves accuracy in tumor resections and complex reconstructions. We've pioneered multiple CAS innovations now used in medical centers worldwide.

StemWave Non-Invasive Therapy

This cutting-edge treatment uses sonic waves to address chronic spine and joint pain. It promotes tissue regeneration without incisions or downtime. Patients benefit from improved mobility and reduced inflammation through this FDA-cleared technology.

Ridiculous place. waited for 3 hours to see the doctor. They are not respectful of other people's time AT ALL! All they care about is money. Also, the receptionist is super sick (coughing, runny nose, watery eyes) and I don't understand why she wasn't sent home. If you are unemployed and have a lot of free time, then I reccomend this place. Otherwise, don't go there cause you'll be stuck there for hours.

The best doctor in town, she did my dad surgery years ago and she gave him his life back. I suggest everyone with any brain and spine problems to see her for sure

She is absolutely ridiculous! we scheduled our appointment in December 2018 and it was for May 2019 because we were a new patient. Our appointment was at 11. We got there and the lady was like our appointment was canceled but she will still see us. She said there would be an hour wait because the doctor had and emergency and had just gotten there. We waited until 12:30 and she took us in. Then her nurse comes in and says that they don't take our insurance anymore but she will see us this time because we were new.

We were sitting there until 2:30 and she still hadn't come in. She went to see other patients who came in after us because she takes their insurance. How do you keep a patient who just had surgery wait 4 hours? Absolutely ridiculous. DO NOT GO TO HER!

This is a third world human chop shop.led by a cut rate Dr.she should be shut down.not worthy to practice in the United States.keeping spine patients waiting.sitting for 6+ hours after their scheduled appointment on wooden chairs in the waiting room.stopping a surgery in the middle of it because she has other things she wants to do.not knowing what to do. I don't see how she doesn't get sued. The staff should not be allowed near people.any other doctor would be many times better.

This Doctor gave me my life back. She performed a neck fusion replacement surgery on me with the latest technology. I went from not working at all, not able to take care of myself or be the Mom I was supposed to be. Now I'm everything and more. I even Ballet Dance now

This was the worse experience I've ever had! I will never be coming here again! I had to wait for three hours to see the doctor, when she came to see me she only spend approximate 2 minutes. she only cares for your money! Don't waste your time and money. Unprofessional place!

Nov 07, 2018 Report

Surgeon only cares about performing surgeries for money then when it's not fixed she will kick you out and not even second guess her own work. I had my whole back redone because she did such a hack job surgery. No beside manners, makes her staff who know nothing do 95% of the office visit follow ups, etc.
