About The Bonati Spine Institute

The world’s leading center for advanced spine surgery.

We Can Help You Make Back and Neck Pain a Thing of the Past

Pioneered at The Bonati Spine Institute, endoscopic laser spine surgery was also perfected here. We were the first to use the Holmium YAG laser in spine surgery, and we have the reputation for being the best. Our founder, Dr. Alfred Bonati, was the first to develop and patent methods and instruments for laser spine surgery to correct problems of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine known as The Bonati Spine Procedures. Dr. Bonati holds seven United States Patents on these methods and instruments.

The Bonati Spine Institute was founded in 1981 and is the recognized leader in advanced spine surgery. Over the past ten years, we have a documented, patient-reported 93.7% surgery success rate with our specialized procedures.

What Makes The Bonati Spine Procedures Different?

In no other service is quality more important than in healthcare. Our 93.7% surgery success rate is a clear indication of the effectiveness of The Bonati Spine Procedures. Encompassing arthroscopic and endoscopic laser-assisted spine surgery, The Bonati Spine Procedures are performed on an outpatient basis using a local anesthesia. This allows the patient to remain alert, and be able to communicate directly with the surgeon to isolate, identify and target the exact source of the pain. This identification is referred to as pain mapping and is important as it allows our doctors to least invasively treat only the area causing pain.

The Bonati Spine Procedures are performed with patented methods and instrumentation only available at The Bonati Spine Institute. These procedures promote faster recovery times than traditional, highly invasive open back surgery, allowing the patient to resume normal daily activities much more rapidly.

Our physicians are the pivotal part of the surgical process. Upon your arrival, prior to your surgery, you will meet and discuss your specific problem with a board certified neurosurgeon or a board certified orthopaedic surgeon. These exceptionally experienced physicians are the same ones who will be at your side during every step of the surgical process, insuring the best possible outcome.

The Bonati Spine Institute’s Surgery Center is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

Success with Patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

Our surgical success rate of 93.7% includes the treatment of those who suffer from failed back surgery previously performed at another medical facility. If a patient is still in pain after having spinal fusion at another medical facility, or not getting the results expected after having orthopaedic hardware inserted at another medical facility, there is still hope. Dr. Alfred Bonati was the first to develop and patent methods and instruments for the removal of certain orthopaedic hardware to correct problems from previous failed open back surgery.
