Welcome to the
Spine Center

We believe in a patient-centric approach where surgery is considered the last resort. Our mission is to help our patients return to their everyday lives as quickly, safely, and effectively as possible. To achieve this, we offer extensive assessments, exercise-based physical therapies, and conservative care, which have proven effective for most spinal problems.

At the Valley View Spine Center, we also specialize in minimally invasive approaches, including the revolutionary Mazor X Stealth™ robot-guided spine surgery. This state-of-the-art technology allows our Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Felipe Ituarte, to perform less invasive surgical procedures, therefore resulting in:

• Smaller incisions
• Faster recovery times
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster return to daily activities

Neurology vs. Orthopedics

While both neurologists and orthopedists can treat back pain, their expertise often differs.

• Neurologists specialize in nerve-related back pain (e.g., sciatica, herniated discs).
• Orthopedic surgeons specialize in bone and joint-related back pain (e.g., spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease).

At the Valley View Spine Center, our team of experienced physicians, including both neurologists and orthopedic surgeons, collaborates to provide comprehensive and personalized care for a wide range of spinal conditions.

We Care About Patient Experience

We strive to create a comfortable environment for our patients and their loved ones. Our team listens attentively to all concerns and takes the time to explain in detail the diagnosis and treatment options for each unique situation.

We understand that navigating through healthcare can sometimes be challenging. That's why we also provide comprehensive resources for our patients, including information about medical records, patient rights & concerns, financial services, and more.

To make your initial visit as smooth as possible, we recommend bringing any of the following applicable items with you:

• Insurance card(s)
• Medication list
• Clinical notes
• Radiology reports
• Surgical notes
• Injections reports
• Physical therapy notes
