Spine Surgery at UPMC Hamot
Spine surgery is a big decision and a second opinion from our experts might just be life changing.
If you've been told you need spine surgery, including spinal fusion, you may have alternative options that are less invasive. A second opinion from the neurosurgical experts at UPMC Hamot lets you take back control of your health care journey and decide the treatment path that is best for you.
At UPMC Hamot, we have a team of board-certified neurosurgeons who provide expertise in assessing and treating spinal diseases and conditions using the most advanced technology. Often, they can treat you without the need for highly invasive surgical procedures that can permanently limit your range of motion.
