Surgery Isn’t Always the First Answer.

The right treatment begins with the right diagnosis.

At American Neurospine Institute, we believe surgery should be recommended when it is appropriate—not simply because it is available.

We evaluate each patient’s symptoms, imaging, medical history, previous treatments, and goals to develop an individualized treatment plan.

When non-surgical care is appropriate, we pursue it.

When surgery becomes necessary, we select the approach that best addresses the underlying problem while minimizing unnecessary disruption whenever possible.

Our Approach to Care →

00

Understand

Determine what is causing your symptoms.

01

Explore

Consider the full range of appropriate treatment options.

02

Treat

Choose the least invasive effective approach when appropriate.

03

Restore

Focus on recovery, function, and long-term spine health.

Advanced Surgical Solutions

When surgery is necessary, our goal is to select the technique that best fits your condition, anatomy, and treatment goals.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Advanced surgical approaches designed to limit unnecessary disruption to surrounding tissues when clinically appropriate.

Motion Preservation

Surgical options designed to preserve spinal movement in appropriately selected patients.

Decompression

Procedures designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves.

Fusion & Reconstruction

Procedures used to stabilize and reconstruct the spine when instability, deformity, or other conditions require it.

Revision Spine Surgery

Evaluation and treatment of persistent or recurrent problems following previous spinal surgery.

Robotic & Computer-Assisted Surgery

Advanced technology that can assist with surgical planning, navigation, and precision.

Technology With a Purpose.

Technology doesn’t replace surgical judgment. It enhances it.

Modern spine surgery continues to evolve through advances in imaging, navigation, robotics, surgical planning, and minimally invasive techniques.

At American Neurospine, technology is considered in the context of each individual patient’s anatomy and treatment needs.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Technology that can assist with planning and surgical execution in appropriately selected procedures.

Computer-Assisted Navigation

Advanced navigation systems can provide surgeons with detailed anatomical information during surgery.

3D Surgical Planning

Three-dimensional visualization can assist with planning complex procedures and understanding individual anatomy.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

When appropriate, minimally invasive approaches can help reduce unnecessary disruption to surrounding tissues.

Dr Pascal is a great Doctor. He is very friendly and kind. Hs been very considerate with any issues i have had. There is usually a long wait like an hour to see him. Can get cold in waiting room so bring a jacket.

Debi B.

Dr. Panchal did a "360" back surgery on me on May 1st and I could not be more pleased. The original issues I was having which led me to decide to have surgery have been dramatically improved; some gone altogether. Having dealt with many doctors over the years, I have to add that his ENTIRE staff is exceptional which is so very, very hard to find. Thank you all!

Flo L.

I feel very comfortable with Doctor Panchal. My Neurologist recommended him to me and said he was the best in the area. After speaking with his patients, they seemed satisfied post-op. His staff has been helpful. My procedure is the end of July and I feel confident all will go well.

Paul R.

C4-C7 ACDF surgery went flawlessly. Dr. Panchal and his team at the Institute are amazing. I could not recommend with more confidence.

David G.

The people there were very experience. They were fantastic people from the doctor to the office the doctor's know what they're doing.\nVery professional and these guys really know what they're doing.

Ilana J.

He is an excellent Dr. explains everything, does not rush to surgery unless necessary. Absolutely would use him again and recommend to family and friends.
