What is this?
James Reynolds, MD, San Francisco, CA 94109
Dr. Reynolds is an orthopedic spine surgeon, Medical Director and Chairman of the Spine Care Medical Group. Dr. Reynolds has been in practice for over 25 years. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of painful disorders of the spine and sees patients who require conservative care, minimally invasive spine surgery, or complex reconstructive spine surgery.
Dr. Reynolds believes in listening carefully to a patient's description of pain. He also believes that thorough comprehensive examination is essential for making an accurate diagnosis for spine problems. Most spine pain is needed with medications, injections and exercise. To Dr. Reynolds, surgery should be the last resort and less than 5% of serious spine problems should need surgery. He practices by the idea that any surgery performed should be minimally-invasive techniques whenever possible.
Dr. James Reynolds is an Orthopedic Surgeon with Spine Care Institute of San Francisco.
