Clinicians in the RUSH Spine Center take an integrated, multidisciplinary approach with the assessment and management of spine problems. They provide patients with innovative, evidence-based and individualized non-surgical and surgical treatment plans aimed at rapidly restoring function and quality of life.
Hong Wu, MD, is a physiatrist and the Director of the RUSH Spine Center. Ricardo Fontes, MD, PhD, is a neurosurgeon and the director of the RUSH Neurosurgery Residency Program.
“The success of the multidisciplinary approach is just the recognition that nobody has a set recipe for every patient,” says Dr. Fontes. “This model is very versatile and can offer a gamut of options to our patients. Surgery is not the solution for most patients and some may do very well with non-operative treatments.”
