Jonathan D Sherman, MD

Spinal disorders have been a passion of mine since my college days as a biomedical engineer, a passion I have carried on throughout my career. Nothing is more rewarding than helping patients improve their lives, whether addressing a complex problem, or developing ways to address common spinal disorders in a minimally invasive way, thereby minimizing the risk and pain associated with surgery.

This passion for spinal surgery has helped me develop new techniques and instruments, and to educate myself about all aspects of spinal care, including nonsurgical approaches. I enjoy working with patients to educate them about their condition and treatment choices, and helping patients choose a path which is right for their lifestyle.
