Helping guide patients through these difficult decisions for the best treatment outcome is his passion
When the difficult decision for surgery has been made, the patients can be reassured that their surgeon is a leader in the field in teaching and performing these techniques. From the most straight forward micro-disectomy procedure, to the most complex adult scoliosis reconstruction, Dr. Kravetz has taught and performed these techniques and procedures for years. Techniques to minimize tissue damage while accomplishing the necessary surgery are always the goal. These techniques have clearly been shown to minimize blood loss in patients, lower the infection risk, require shorter hospital stays, require less post-procedure pain medicine, and lead to faster return to activities. These techniques allow Dr. Kravetz to more safely treat patients with diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, the elderly, and those with more complex medical conditions
