About Us

Columbia's world-class doctors at Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for diagnosing and treating all types of spine and neck problems.

Our Approach to Spine Care

At Och Spine, Columbia's specialists believe in bringing together a care team that will be with you from diagnosis to recovery. In addition to world-class neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, we also offer:

  • Advanced radiology services
  • Physical therapy services
  • Spaces for providers to collaborate on your care

Our approach to care is patient-centric. We recognize that while surgery can be necessary, we always start by assessing the most conservative treatment options for your care. If surgery is necessary, we offer minimally invasive approaches designed to minimize your recovery time and get you back to your everyday life.

Our Expertise

Columbia has a long history of excellence and innovation in spine surgery. More than 100 years ago, professor and orthopedic surgeon Russell A. Hibbs performed the first spinal fusion surgery for paralytic scoliosis.

Our world-class physicians specialize in surgical and non-surgical treatment of spinal deformities, acute injuries, and degenerative conditions of the spine. Using the most sophisticated diagnostic tools and guided by groundbreaking research, our team of providers creates personalized treatment plans for all of our patients.
