 Webster Spine Institute
The spine team at Webster
Orthopaedics, the Webster Spine
Institute, is dedicated to
providing the best surgical and
non-surgical care to our
pediatric and adult patients
with a variety of disorders of
the spine. Drs.
Peter Slabaugh,
Robert Rovner and
Vikram Talwar,
all fellowship-trained
Orthopaedic Spine Surgeons, are
proud to be a part of Webster
Orthopaedic Medical Group, whose
roots go back to 1939.
Spine surgery is challenging.
What motivates us? The
satisfaction of meeting the
challenge for our patients: a
hug from a patient no longer in
pain, the smile on the child
whose scoliosis is corrected. We
are committed to providing
cutting edge, compassionate,
conservative and, when
appropriate, surgical care to
our children, adult and elderly
patients.
The scope of spine care at the
Webster Spine Institute includes
minimally invasive, outpatient
surgery, microsurgery of the
spine, scoliosis and spinal
deformity correction, complex
spinal reconstruction and
revision cases. Our patients
come to us with cervical,
thoracic and lumbar pathology
due to injury, degenerative
change, congenital conditions,
infections and neoplasm.
We serve the East Bay with
office locations in Oakland, San
Ramon and Livermore and work
with most insurance plans and
worker compensation carriers.
Spine Surgery
Many patients with back
problems can be successfully treated using non-surgical methods, such as
physical therapy, medication and activity restrictions. However, some
conditions require spine surgery for complete correction. Types of
spinal surgery include stabilizing procedures, decompressive procedures,
exploratory procedures, and procedures related to spinal cord
stimulators.
