People want to know how to find the best spine surgeon in the country. As one of the premier spine surgeons, the National Spine Health Foundation has named Dr. Thomas Schuler (and his three partner physicians at Virginia Spine Institute) as one of America’s Top 50 Spine Surgeons. Dr. Schuler weighs in to help people find the best spine surgeon that will help them resolve their back or neck condition.
Choosing a surgeon that is well trained and well-rounded is important but also consider someone who will listen to you and spends the time necessary to build rapport and understand your goals for recovery. Because each person needs to be treated as an individual, you’re not an x-ray, you’re not an MRI, you’re a person and the surgeon needs to personalize the treatment and customize the care so that you get what is best to help you. That’s how you find the best spine surgeon!
