Highlights from day one at the FOCOS Hospital in Ghana. We had a half day of clinic and a visit to a local orphanage. Grateful for the team that we’ve assembled for this mission trip. Excited for the week of surgery ahead!

Excited to share that our practice is now seeing patients in our San Pedro location! Today was our first day. For years I’ve found this community to be hardworking, kind and respectful. Grateful to finally have this opportunity. Call us at 562-732-4578 for an appointment.

This past week we helped a patient with a very complex spine problem. He had a cervial deformity and a lumbar scoliosis both of which were fixed in the past. Unfortunately, he sustained hardware failure with a broken rod in the middle of this thoracic spine. This can sometimes happen with long complex fusions. We performed a revision utilizing a “multi rod technique” and placed 4 screws into the pelvis which is shown in this image.

This strategy, while technically challenging has great benefit in these tough situations. 4 rods and pelvic screws allow a rigid construct that is very resistant to failure and provides peace of mind for patients. Across the middle thoracic spine where the construct is most vulnerable, we have 6 rods in place. We also place large cages in the front of the spine to provide additional support.

I’ve learned many of these complex techniques after many years of doing revision cases and from my experience doing complex scoliosis cases abroad in Africa. I’m happy to report that the patient is doing well less than two weeks after this complex reconstruction.

We had a great day in Marina Del Rey. Three cases and clinic. Big shoutout to my PA Calvin for making it all go smoothly today.

I always love when patients leave us hand written cards for appreciation. As you can see it’s not just me but our concierge staff that makes the spine experience exceptional at our practice. .md

Best spine team in the world. I’m glad they had a nice team building event. Their ability to care about each other and work as a team translates to an exceptional work environment for the patients. .md

This week I had the joy and privilege of having Arthur Sackeyfio, a fellow spine surgeon, come to visit us from the FOCOS hospital in Accra Ghana. He has been a friend and colleague for ten years. We aim to share knowledge and continue to grow the outreach program together. Great to have him at Long Beach. I’m grateful to have this collaboration! .md

The scoliosis research meeting (SRS) is one of the most special spine meetings. The people that come to this meeting are amazing leaders in our field, humanitarians, and have been great mentors to me since medical school. Happy to be accepted as an active fellow to the SRS and to be involved in outreach work since 2008. Appreciate the “shout out” and pictures. .md

Amazing feedback this week in clinic from our spine patients. Our goal is to provide concierge level care in a relaxed environment. Our new state of the art facility is built with the patients in mind. We look forward to seeing you.
