About Our Services

Our Mission

In 1911, Columbia professor and orthopedic surgeon Russell A. Hibbs performed the first spinal fusion surgery for paralytic scoliosis. Since then, the spine experts at Columbia Orthopedics and the NewYork-Presbyterian Och Spine Hospital have continued to develop and apply innovative therapies backed by the latest clinical and basic science research to treat and heal disorders of the neck, upper back, and lumbar spine.

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, in-depth clinical experience backed by the latest research, and advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, our specialists create personalized treatment plans for patients suffering from all manner of conditions.
