Pranay Patel, M.D.
Our primary interest lies in providing my patients with minimally-invasive surgical options only when absolutely necessary to get them functional and pain free with minimal recovery times.
Dr. Pranay Patel, M.D. is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. His focus and practice philosophy lies specifically in minimally invasive surgical techniques and spinal motion preservation. Due to advances in his minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Patel performs most of his surgeries in an outpatient setting and patients typically go home the same day as the surgery. After a thorough examination and review of pertinent imaging, Dr. Patel will help his patients understand their problem and he provides them with treatment option tailored to their individual needs and lifestyle goals. When indicated, Dr. Patel aims to begin with the least invasive/non-surgical solutions first. If surgery is necessary, many spinal procedures can be performed with a small incision and visualized in 4K resolution through a digital microscope.
Dr. Patel is the author of several book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles on spine conditions and surgical techniques. He prides himself in staying at the forefront of spinal care by being actively engaged in clinical research and advances in technology.
