Our Story

In Dr. Khounganian's practice, every patient is treated as an individual. He'll develop your treatment plan to address your unique problems, whether the most effective course is conservative methods or surgery.

Because he can treat many spine problems with basic physical therapy, Dr. Khounganian will first exhaust all the appropriate non-invasive measures for your condition. If those options don't offer the best possible results, he'll work closely with you to explore what he can achieve through surgery - which is significantly less invasive with today's precision techniques.

Dr. Khounganian's goal is for you to be satisfied with your treatment and enjoy relief from your pain.
