OVERVIEW

TeleMedicine Provider | Open NowRobert A. Rovner, M.D. has over 36 years’ experience using minimally invasive techniques and microsurgery for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar discectomy, spine fusion, spine reconstruction, and decompression surgery for sciatica. He treats pediatric and adult deformities such as scoliosis as well as traumatic injuries such as disc herniations, spinal fractures, and conditions such as spinal stenosis and disc degeneration. Dr. Rovner has recently built a new office with numerous spine models and computers in each exam room to visually educate each patient about their condition(s) affecting their spine. His staff engages personally with patients and makes sure they have a cell phone number to easily correspond for important issues. Dr. Rovner's approach is conservative with surgery being the option after all other treatments have been discussed and/ or tried. He offers the best advancements in spine surgery for patients with degenerative disease of the spine, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, and other conditions. He has developed and patented procedures and devices to help give patients the best treatment possible. His ability to correct scoliosis with his novel correction approach is the first in the country and has been featured on the news for unique scoliosis correction surgery and uses his own highly successful patented technique to normalize the scoliosis curve including removal of the rib hump without having to perform a thoracotomy. He’s been included in 2012-2020 CASTLE CONNOLLY'S TOP DOCTORS AWARD which is awarded by a physician led research team that reviews and screens the credentials of tens of thousands of physicians who are nominated by their peers annually via a nationwide online process and are regionally or nationally among the very best in their medical specialties. Dr. Rovner has also been honored by 2008 PATIENTS' CHOICE AWARD and 2008-2018 COMPASSIONATE DOCTOR AWARD-5 YEAR HONOREE.
