Research has proven that care for complex categories like back and neck pain is best done through a Center of Excellence approach. In 2010 Georgia Neurological Surgery in Athens, GA, founded Georgia Comprehensive Spine, which combines the expertise of a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation MD and spine neurosurgeons working together under one roof. Through this spine center approach, we exhaust all non-surgical treatment options, including pain-relieving injections, in advance of spine surgery.

In addition to spine surgery, the neurosurgeons at Georgia Neurological Surgery treat patients with neurological disorders including brain tumor, aneurysm, spinal cord injury and carpal tunnel. In addition to our main location in Athens, we have offices in Royston, Toccoa, Demorest, Monroe and Winder.

Because our spine surgeons specialize in minimally invasive surgery techniques, many patients can have their back surgery or neck surgery at the GNS Surgery Center and be home later the same day to recover at home. Click here to learn more.
