And Dr. Haro, can you talk about the top three trends you're following in healthcare and in spine surgery today?

You know, I want to hone in on what you're talking about with biologics.

It's still, you know, very there needs to be a lot more research in this area and spine orthopedics.

And I'm wondering what kinds of innovations in spine biologics could elaborate more on what's exciting you in that area and what you think will really define this year when it comes to spine biologics.

And I imagine everything with exploring these biologics, it sounds like you probably would need to have a lot of multidisciplinary collaboration and just kind of work with others just beyond just spine itself.

Yeah, have there been any hurdles, any challenges when it comes to bringing together all these specialties or has it been smooth sailing for the most part?

Yeah, absolutely.

And do you have any advice for hospital leaders who they see your example and they want to replicate that on their own?

What would be the biggest piece of advice you'd have for creating a more integrated spine orthopedic neurosurgery program?

So really just kind of looking at the numbers, it sounds like that's the key to everything.

That's great.

And, you know, I want to pivot back to what you're saying about AI as well.

Obviously in 2025, AI in healthcare is a, you know, it's really exploded.

It's huge, a huge talking point among, you know, physicians, leaders, and I'm wondering, you know, how, how are you using AI in your practice right now?

What are you going to do the same, do differently?

Well, yeah, let's break down those pros and cons you mentioned there.

What do you think could be done to improve the pros and smooth out the cons?
