Referrals

Some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician. Check with your insurance provider if you're unsure. If a referral is needed, we can coordinate with your doctor's office.

We also welcome physician referrals and provide detailed consultation reports back to referring providers.

Tip: If you have imaging from another facility, request copies on disc or ask them to upload to our secure portal before your visit. This allows Dr. Greenberg to review your images in advance.

Advanced Spine Surgery Technology

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Ultra-minimally invasive procedures using specialized cameras and micro-instruments. Incisions often smaller than a dime. Most endoscopic procedures performed outpatient with same-day discharge.

Robotic-Assisted Fusion

Globus ExcelsiusGPS robotic technology provides highly precise guidance for screw and implant placement. Enhanced accuracy leads to improved outcomes and reduced complications.

Motion Preservation

Cervical disc replacement and other motion-preserving techniques maintain natural spinal movement. When appropriate, these alternatives to fusion restore function while preserving mobility.

How do I know if I need spine surgery?

What should I bring to my first appointment?

The drive from Bryan, Ohio to our Fort Wayne office is about 30 minutes via US-127 and US-6. We work to consolidate appointments and imaging to minimize trips.

What makes minimally invasive spine surgery different?

Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions (often under 1 inch), specialized instruments, and advanced imaging to access the spine with less muscle disruption. This typically results in postoperative pain planning, recovery, and often same-day discharge compared to traditional open surgery.
