VSI Physicians Named 2023 Top Doctors by Washingtonian Magazine

VSI doctors, Dr. Christopher Good, Dr. Niteesh Bharara, Dr. Thomas Schuler, Dr. Ehsan Jazini, Dr. Colin Haines, Dr. Thomas Nguyen, and Dr. Yash Mehta have all been recognized by Washingtonian Magazine’s Top Doctors of 2023.

Washingtonian Magazine’s list of Top Doctors is chosen based the election by fellow doctors: Physicians in the region are asked to select which Doctors in the DC-Metro region they’d choose for themselves or their loved ones. This process produces a resource for local residents to choose from a fine-tuned list of top ranking practitioners in the DC-Metro area.

At VSI, we stand proudly at the forefront of advanced spinal solutions. More than 30 years ago, we introduced the Washington, DC metro region to interdisciplinary spine care and ever since, as an independent medical practice, our unwavering commitment remains to deliver the solutions our patients seek, often without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. Our reputation for excellence resonates globally, welcoming patients from around the world. Each patient collaborates with specialists to craft the individualized treatment plan they deserve without interference by insurance carriers. 

We’re more than just your spine doctor; we’re your dedicated partner, committed to helping you reclaim your life and overcome the challenges of spine-related conditions.  Consulting a spine surgeon doesn’t mean a patient needs surgery. In fact, 90% of our patients are treated nonsurgically through stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma, spine-specialized physical therapy, and other outpatient modalities. The modern techniques we use provide patients with minimal downtime and a faster return to daily life. 


VSI’s reputation is unmatched as a world-renowned luxury destination in spinal healthcare, dedicated to providing an elevated level of concierge care for those suffering from neck and back conditions. For three decades, their proven methods have led them to dramatically improving the quality of life for over 100,000 patients, from 32 countries.

People seek care from Virginia Spine Institute because of their elite team of board-certified spine-specialized physicians offering unique approaches to safe and effective back and neck pain relief. As one of the few centers that begin treatment with non-surgical options before recommending surgery, 90% of their patients get better without spine surgery. Through a comprehensive model, Virginia Spine Institute is able to offer regenerative medicine, non-operative treatments, minimally-invasive spine surgery, and physical therapy through their team of spine specialists.

The team’s dedication to detail and patient success is a shining light in the field of spinal healthcare. As pioneers and leaders in this field, they have also accomplished many of the world’s firsts in spine surgery by using modern treatments and cutting-edge technology not offered anywhere else.
