Complex spine care doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With a true “One-Stop-Shop” approach, Dr. Han Jo Kim is redefining how patients experience complex spine and scoliosis treatment—from evaluation to recovery and every step in between.

By bringing expert consultation, advanced imaging, multidisciplinary collaboration, and personalized treatment planning into one streamlined experience, patients receive clear answers faster and a care plan tailored to their unique needs. This approach helps reduce delays, lower complication rates, and support smoother, faster recoveries.

For Dr. Kim’s former patient, Susan, this comprehensive and compassionate model was life-changing. After years of pain and limited mobility, she was able to stand upright again, look forward with confidence, and regain her independence—transformations that go far beyond physical healing.

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the spine, causing stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. Over time, AS can lead to vertebrae fusing, severely limiting flexibility. While most cases are managed with medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, surgery may become necessary in severe cases. Spinal surgery can correct deformities, relieve nerve compression, and restore mobility when conservative treatments fail. Early diagnosis and expert care are key to maintaining spinal health and quality of life for patients with AS. If you or a loved one is struggling with the symptoms of AS, contact Dr. Kim today!

People who need complex spine surgery have a new option for state-of-the-art, comprehensive spine care. The Complex Spine & Scoliosis Center (CSSC) at HSS is designed to give patients an easier recovery and a better overall experience thanks to its team of expert physicians dedicated to treating complex spine deformities and scoliosis through cutting-edge surgical approaches, patient-centered care and innovative research.

“What makes our new center unique is that we offer a ‘one stop shop’ where a patient can be seen by a surgeon and other experts as needed, get updated imaging and other tests, receive a diagnosis and be given a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs all on the same day,” says Han Jo Kim, MD, director of the new center and HSS spine surgeon. He adds that other centers could take weeks or even months to line up all the necessary appointments and provide a care plan recommendation.
