Care Philosophy: Dr. Quinones believes that although some spinal conditions are emergent or urgent and require surgical intervention, most spine problems do not go on to surgery. He will only offer surgery if he truly believes it will help his patients. He does not force surgery on anyone. The patient and Dr. Quinones will make the decision together on the best surgical option for the patient. We will look for minimally invasive options if possible but also make sure to provide a durable solution to minimize the chances of needing surgery in the future and provide long-term pain relief. Every patient should leave his office feeling well-educated on their condition and confident in the plan, whether surgical or not.
