Dr. John Burleson is a fellowship trained Orthopedic Spine Surgeon at the Hughston Clinic. He recently moved to Nashville after finishing his fellowship in Texas.
Dr. Burleson likes to refer to himself as a patient centered spine surgeon because he does NOT automatically recommend surgery to everyone who walks in the door. He wants to recommend all the options to each patient that walks in the door based on their symptoms and based on their goals and desires.
In todays episode we chat about disc bulges versus herniations, how to avoid surgery, and some of the new technology like VR in the operating room to help improve patient outcomes.
