Dr. Spina specializes in degenerative, traumatic, and oncologic conditions of the spine with a focus on restoring function and improving quality of life

• After three previous surgeries and getting worse ( limping, walking with a cane and in constant pain) Dr. Spina lll operated on me on last time - I am still recuperating but I feel almost no pain,
  I’m not limping any more and I’m able to stand up straight! Three out of three is better than I dared to hope after the fourth surgery. Thank you, Dr. Spina!
• Dr. Spina is a miracle worker! His colleague, Dr. Monsoon (himself a worker of miracles), made the connection for me. The pain is gone.
  That facility and the staff are so good that I will never go anywhere else. For anything.
• I have been in atrocious pain for nearly two decades from a previous back fusion with another Dr and hospital. That surgery caused me to have an above knee amputation 7 years ago. I love the UofU hospital and won't go anywhere else for care. Dr Spina has performed the perfect Lumbar fusion, which relieved 100% of my nerve pain of the legs, buttocks, and hips. I couldn't be more grateful to Dr Spina and staff. Thank you.
