This was probably one of the best doctor's visits I've ever had. Dr. Kuzmik was so thorough and continually asked if I had any questions about anything, but he was never talking to me in a condescending way, it was always coming from a place of wanting to make sure I had all my questions asked and felt comfortable.

Bio

Dr. Gregory Kuzmik is a board-certified and fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in spinal surgery. He obtained his medical degree from Yale University and completed his residency training in neurosurgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He completed a fellowship in minimally invasive & complex spine surgery at the University of California San Francisco. He treats a broad range of spinal pathology including degenerative conditions, tumors, trauma, infections, and spinal deformity. Dr. Kuzmik's philosophy is to first manage spinal conditions with a broad range of non-surgical treatments and only perform surgery when absolutely necessary. When surgery is required, he aims to perform the least invasive surgery possible. He does this using advanced surgical techniques and technologies including minimally invasive (MIS) approaches, neuro-navigation, and robotic spinal surgery.
