Best Orthopedic Spine Surgeon in Georgia

Expert Spine Care Backed by Experience, Innovation & Compassion

When you're dealing with back or neck pain, your choice of spine surgeon isn't just important—it can be life-changing. In Georgia, countless patients seek relief from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and other debilitating spine conditions. But with so many providers offering surgical solutions, how do you know you're choosing the right one?

Why Finding the Right Spine Surgeon in Georgia Matters

Spine surgery, even when minimally invasive, is a serious decision. While advancements in medical technology have improved outcomes significantly, poor surgical planning, outdated techniques, or limited experience can still lead to:

• Unnecessary procedures
• Prolonged recovery times
• Worsening of symptoms
• Post-surgical complications
• Repeat surgeries

The difference between short-term relief and long-term recovery often lies in the hands of the surgeon you choose. A qualified orthopedic spine surgeon will not only understand the anatomy and mechanics of the spine, but will also take a comprehensive approach that focuses on the least invasive, most effective solution for your condition.

What Separates a “Good” Surgeon from the Best?

In Georgia’s competitive healthcare landscape, it’s easy to find a board-certified surgeon—but the best orthopedic spine surgeons offer more than credentials. They offer:

• Specialized expertise in both complex and minimally invasive spine procedures
• A conservative, patient-first mindset—surgery is never rushed or over-recommended
• Advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the root cause of your pain
• Holistic treatment plans that consider your lifestyle, goals, and full-body health

They also spend time with you—educating, listening, and guiding—so you never feel like just another case.

When Should You See an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon?

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, but knowing when it’s time to consult an orthopedic spine surgeon can be confusing. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we help patients across Georgia understand when specialized surgical expertise is truly necessary—and when less invasive alternatives may be more appropriate.

Conditions That May Require Surgical Evaluation

While many spine conditions can be managed without surgery, some require the precision and skill of a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon—especially when symptoms persist or worsen despite conservative care. You may benefit from a surgical consultation if you're diagnosed with:

• Herniated or bulging discs
  Causing radiating leg or arm pain, weakness, or numbness
• Spinal stenosis
  Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve compression, often with leg pain while walking
• Degenerative disc disease
  Causing chronic back pain, stiffness, and limited mobility
• Sciatica
  Sharp pain that radiates down the leg, often linked to nerve irritation in the lower spine
• Spine fractures or instability
  From trauma, osteoporosis, or vertebral collapse

These conditions, especially when left untreated, can cause progressive nerve damage, chronic pain, or loss of function—making timely evaluation critical.

Red Flags: When It’s Time to See a Spine Surgeon

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to seek a spine surgeon’s opinion:

• Persistent pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy, injections, or chiropractic care
• Numbness or weakness in your arms or legs
• Difficulty walking, balancing, or controlling bladder/bowel function
• Sudden onset of severe back pain following an injury or fall
• Failed results from a previous spine surgery

These symptoms may indicate a serious underlying issue that needs prompt attention from a qualified orthopedic spine specialist.

Why a Second Opinion Could Save You from Unnecessary Surgery

Spine surgery is a major decision—and not every patient who’s told they need surgery actually does. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we welcome second opinions and are committed to offering the least invasive, most effective solution for each individual.

If you’ve been told you need back surgery, getting an expert second opinion can:

• Confirm the accuracy of your diagnosis
• Explore non-surgical treatment options you haven’t tried
• Ensure you’re choosing the right procedure, at the right time
• Give you confidence and peace of mind in your care plan

Medici’s Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Options

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe surgery should always be a last resort—and when it’s necessary, it should be performed with the least invasive, most advanced techniques available. Our goal is simple: relieve your pain, restore your function, and get you back to living with minimal downtime and maximum comfort.

Led by renowned orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Sonny Dosanjh, our team specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS)—an approach that uses smaller incisions, causes less disruption to surrounding tissue, and supports faster recovery than traditional open-back surgery.

Here are some of the most common MISS procedures we perform for patients across Georgia:

Microdiscectomy

Ideal for patients with herniated or bulging discs, a microdiscectomy is a precision procedure that removes only the portion of the disc pressing on a nerve—while preserving the rest of the disc and surrounding structures.

Benefits:

• Performed through a tiny incision using microsurgical tools
• Minimal tissue damage
• Rapid pain relief for sciatica or radiculopathy
• Same-day discharge in most cases

This procedure is highly effective for leg or arm pain caused by disc-related nerve compression and has one of the highest satisfaction rates among spine surgeries.

Spinal Decompression

If you suffer from spinal stenosis or have pinched nerves due to bone spurs, thickened ligaments, or disc degeneration, spinal decompression can create space in the spinal canal and relieve pressure.

Common techniques include:

• Laminectomy – Removal of part of the vertebral bone
• Foraminotomy – Widening the nerve root exit passage
• Laminotomy – Partial removal for targeted relief

Performed minimally invasively, decompression surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, especially in the legs and arms.

Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion

When your spine becomes unstable due to fractures, advanced degeneration, or previous surgeries, spinal fusion may be required to restore strength and alignment.

Using a minimally invasive approach, Dr. Dosanjh is able to:

• Make small, muscle-sparing incisions
• Place rods, screws, or cages with pinpoint precision using image guidance
• Encourage bone growth between vertebrae for permanent stabilization

Compared to traditional fusion, this approach reduces:

• Muscle damage
• Infection risk
• Recovery time
• Pain after surgery

Minimally invasive spinal fusion is an ideal solution for those with spondylolisthesis, spinal deformity, or recurrent disc issues, offering lasting relief with a quicker return to life.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

For patients struggling with chronic nerve pain, post-surgical spine pain, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), spinal cord stimulation is a life-changing option.

This high-tech procedure involves implanting a small device near the spine that sends gentle electrical pulses to the nerves—blocking pain signals from reaching the brain.

Ideal for those who:

• Haven’t found relief from traditional surgery
• Want a medication-free approach to nerve pain
• Experience pain from prior spine surgeries

The system is fully reversible and customizable, and includes a trial period to ensure it’s the right fit before permanent implantation.

Endoscopic Techniques

At the forefront of modern spine surgery are endoscopic procedures, which use a small camera and ultra-thin instruments to perform highly targeted spinal repairs.

Used for conditions like:

• Herniated discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Foraminal narrowing

Endoscopic spine surgery requires only a few millimeters of incision, resulting in:

• Minimal tissue damage
• Shorter operative times
• Faster recovery
• Reduced post-op pain

These advanced procedures are performed at our Marietta and Snellville ambulatory surgery centers, giving patients access to hospital-grade care in a comfortable outpatient setting.
