Fellowship-Trained Spine Surgeon

Dr. Brandon Ortega is a fellowship-trained spine surgeon who focuses on helping adults move better and feel better—without unnecessary surgery. He specializes in minimally invasive procedures and motion-preserving techniques like cervical disc replacement, often helping people recover faster and get back to the things they love.

Patients describe him as calm, clear, and genuinely kind. He takes time to explain your condition and walk you through your options, so you always feel informed and supported. Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Ortega is known for building trust and delivering results.

When he’s not in surgery, he’s usually exercising or spending time with family and friends.
