I love Veterans Day.

It gives me the chance to share one of my favorite memories—coming home late to find my son still awake, waiting to greet me.

I’m proud to have served alongside some truly remarkable men and women.

Shuff was always the ‘Boss’ to me. From the first day we met, when I visited his OR in 2008, I walked away impressed by the work of a true master—elegant, simple, straightforward, with no wasted steps, and highly efficient.

He was, also, the coolest guy I knew—a rock star, a captain of industry. That was his own quip when asked how he got his Concierge Key card from American Airlines. Between traveling the world to educate and teach about spine surgery, rock concerts, fishing, and caring for tens of thousands of patients, he still made time to be my friend and mentor. There are very few people I’ve met in my life whom I respect more.

We were partners for ten years from 2010–2018, and again from 2020–2022. I learned a great deal from him. At times, we were oil and water—our personalities couldn’t have been more different—but my respect for him never wavered. His dry humor and quick quips still find their way into my own daily language.

Rest in peace, Boss. It was an honor to know you, to work alongside you, and to call you my friend.

For my colleagues,

Every week, I get a message or a call from a physician—usually early in their career—navigating a tough situation. Contract disputes, practice transitions, burnout, feeling lost in the system.

It’s not always about needing an answer. Sometimes it’s just about hearing that they’re not crazy for feeling stuck. That someone else has been through it.

The messages in this post aren’t unique. They’re a reflection of something we don’t talk about enough: how isolating this field can be—even for smart, capable, well-trained people.

To the more seasoned among us: take the call. Answer the message. Tell your story. Even the uncomfortable parts. Especially the uncomfortable parts.

It’s not only about posting online. It’s about showing up—for the next generation of physicians who are trying to find their footing in a system that wasn’t built for them either.

Joining the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute

I am proud to announce that I have joined the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in Ft. Lauderdale. This unique opportunity allows me to remain in the forefront of clinical research, technology development but most importantly provide a patient-centric concierge approach for complex spine care.

The comprehensive nature of the Paley program which takes a holistic view of our patients is unique both regionally and nationally. Our program focuses on opitmizing nutrition, state of the art therapy programs, the latest 3D technology in bracing for both pediatrics and adults.

For those that require intervention, we have a proprietary Peri-Operative Risk Avoidance and Education Program (PREP) focused on lessening the risk of potential complications. We are, also, at the forefront in the development and utilizing ultrasonic techniques that preserve structure, motion, and increase safety for even our most complex patients. My goal is to provide the best care, education, experience, and results for our patients.

Whether an initial evaluation or a second opinion, I welcome the opportunity to sit and chat. Please contact my office at info@cantorspinecenter.com
