Your Doctor’s Doctor.
Why physicians—and patients—choose Atlantic Brain & Spine when the decision about spine surgery is their own.
Do I need spine surgery?
It’s a difficult question for any patient to face. And the answer shouldn’t begin with a procedure.
At Atlantic Brain & Spine, we’ve built our approach around making thoughtful decisions first. That means understanding the diagnosis, the patient’s goals and the full range of options before deciding whether surgery—and which surgery—is the right next step.
Our spine team brings together fellowship-trained neurosurgical and orthopedic spine expertise, along with specialists and providers across the continuum of spine care.
Better decisions start with a broader view.
Our model is built around four principles that shape how patients are evaluated, treated and supported.
Compassion
You’re not an MRI or a diagnosis. Your lifestyle, goals and what matters most to you help shape the care plan.
Comprehensive Care
Surgical expertise is connected with non-surgical care, coordination and the broader resources patients may need.
Collaboration
Complex decisions benefit from more than one perspective. Our specialists work together rather than in isolation.
Advanced Options
Minimally invasive, robotic and motion-preserving techniques expand what’s possible—but technology serves the patient, not the other way around.
Your case doesn’t have to depend on one perspective.
Spine care can involve difficult decisions, especially when symptoms are complex or there is more than one reasonable treatment path.
At ABS, collaboration is part of the model. Our specialists can bring different areas of expertise to the same problem, helping patients make decisions with a broader view of their options.
More expertise around complex decisions.
Cases are reviewed in weekly spine conferences where multiple specialists can weigh in. For patients, that can mean benefiting from the equivalent of additional expert opinions as part of their care.
The doctors other doctors trust when it’s their own health on the line.
We see that trust in patients who travel to ABS for care and in physicians who choose our surgeons when they themselves become the patient. Trust isn’t assumed. It has to be earned through expertise, judgment and how people are cared for.
Expertise matters. So does the experience of being cared for.
It feels like a miracle.
All the people surrounding me were angels.
It was concierge-level service. Whatever we needed, they got back to me within an hour.
You don’t have to make a spine decision without understanding your options.
Whether you’ve just received a diagnosis, have been told you need surgery or want another perspective before moving forward, our spine team can help you understand what comes next.
