Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · Private Practice, Academics, and the Future of Spine Surgery with Alan H. Daniels, MD · 30 Jan 2026 podcast

So for us, the growth first is by hiring spine surgeons.

Second is by continuing to offer ancillary services to them, such as additional, you know, physical therapy services or other pain management services to help them alleviate their pain through non-surgical methods.

And then lastly is through complexity of care.

We have really prided ourselves at Brown on being

a true tertiary or quaternary center for spine.

We take care of any spine problem that exists, as complex as it can be, because a lot of these community centers can't do that.

And so to be able to take care of the most of the most complex problems is at least a way that I see it's a different type of growth, but it is still growth nonetheless.

Yeah, it is really exciting.

And let me tell you, it's very humbling because treating spinal deformity, when it goes well, it's incredibly life-changing for the patients.

It's amazingly smooth, actually.

These surgeries are invasive, but people can bounce back really quick.

But when it doesn't go smoothly, they can be so disastrous with repeat and multiple surgeries, complex medical complications, revision surgery after revision surgery.

And so what I see most exciting about

spinal deformity, I would say three different things.

The first would be using data and AI to select patients that are optimal for surgery, figuring out what their optimization plans are, and then providing the most optimal treatment.

It's hard to do because there's such variability in the way we treat spine patients.

There's one surgeon who might do anterior approaches or another one that does lateral approaches.

Someone else says I do all posterior approaches and someone

Surgeon might say, I'll do a short fusion for this patient while another surgeon would do a long fusion.

And anytime you see that much variability, you have a problem on your hands.
