Amit Patel MD

I completed my undergraduate degree at Duke University with a double major in computer science and philosophy. I received my medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia, graduating with Alpha Omega Alpha honors. I completed my residency in orthopaedic surgery at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania. Thereafter, I sub-specialized in complex spinal surgery at the Harborview Medical Center/ University of Washington in the combined neurosurgical/orthopaedic spine fellowship.

I am a dual board-certified spine surgeon and treat all aspects of the spine from the base of the skull to the tailbone. My goal for every patient is to provide excellent, innovative, non-operative care. In certain instances, when all conservative measures have been exhausted, my goal is to offer the safest and least amount of surgery using the most state-of-the-art surgical technologies.

My primary interests are treating complex deformities, revisions surgery, and trauma. I have a unique background in minimally invasive spine surgery, something that was not otherwise been available in our region. I also offer second opinions for patients who have had a prior surgery or are thinking about different options.

In my leisure time, I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, sports, reading and spending time with my family.
