"I am a conservative surgeon and believe an operation should always be the last option and performed only after exhausting all reasonable nonsurgical therapy, especially for elective spine surgery. I am continually refining my surgical technique to bring the latest, most minimally invasive, and safest procedures to the operating room." - Dr. Barrer
