Why don’t more doctors do minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery? Even with laser. All fusions aren’t necessary and alternatives like endoscopic spine surgery that is minimally invasive meaning drops of blood, millimeter size wounds and faster recovery time like on your feet in the same day are better an humane. Just wondering is it always just about money made? Prayers and blessings to anyone suffering!

Dr. Cuellar did a miracle with my L5/S1 following a car accident. I'm now 6 weeks post-surgery, still recovering but the back pain is totally gone. HIGHLY recommended!

I have had herniated discs for years—but I never fully understood what that meant.  I have had muscle spasms, numbness, and pain—but I felt like spine surgery was a “big deal” - it is! But Dr. Jason Cuellar performs surgery on athletes, dancers, and all types of people who rely on their bodies! Dr. Jason Cuellar is trustworthy, gentle, brilliant, and a calm surgeon  who is patient and attentive.  His support team is AMAZING and they treat your situation with care and accountability. Before finding Dr. Cuellar and his team, I was not ready for surgery—but he won over my trust and I am SO SO GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATIVE.  —I want everyone to know that Dr. Cuellar will help you and treat your unique situation with care. I got SO SO LUCKY because Dr. Cuellar is an amazing surgeon! I had neck pain, arm pain, neurological symptoms (numbness & weakness in my arms, as a result of cervical nerve compression).  Dr. Jason Cuellar is one of the leading cervical spine surgeons in the United States—and, after analyzing my MRIs, he enrolled me in a medical study he is doing,  The study is specifically if you need  “2-level” cervical disc replacement. Dr. Jason Cuellar is one of the few surgeons in the United States who can enroll you in a study that will cover ALL COSTS and  give you three options to fix your cervical spine discs.   If you have damage to 2 cervical discs that need to be replaced, they can enroll you in the Centinel Spine study program that is able to use Mobi-C Cervical Discs or two other options (which are used in Europe) “prodisc C SK” or “pro disc C Vivo”…Thanks to the Dr (and his team) I got enrolled me in the Centinel Spine study program. I HIGHLY recommend enrolling in the study—literally, I got VIP treatment and ALL COSTS covered for a surgery that I needed anyway.  I was never rushed or pressured, and—immediately—after the surgery, some of my symptoms were resolved. Background: I had herniated discs for over 10 years. Progressively, the pain got worse and worse. I tried pain medication, I tried self-medicating, I try acupuncture, chiropractors, meditation, yoga, physical therapy, but at the end of the day… my neck and back ached, it challenging for me to breathe, and I was in constant numbness and pain.  But people kept telling me: “don’t have back/spine surgery until you absolutely need it.”  —But there was never a sign that says “THE TIME IS NOW” so I kept delaying… if I can say anything to you, it would be “THE TIME IS NOW” —Nerve pain and nerve damage gets progressively worse, so I urge you to trust Dr. Jason Cuellar and his office.  I never pressured and they ALWAYS answered my phone calls and emails asap.  I was treated like a VIP with them, and they helped arrange some of my pre-operative appointments.  After reviewing my MRIs, the doctor told me (the same as I had heard before) that I needed to replace two of my Cervical discs with artificial discs. After meeting Dr. Jason Cuellar, I knew immediately that I’d be in great hands.  Due to Covid, I waited a year to have the surgery because I was scared—but I WISH I HAD IT SOONER!  Dr. Cuellar is an amazing AMAZING surgeon.  He trained with plastic surgeons and my scar is barely noticeable.  Within 2 days after surgery, I was walking around and it was an out-patient procedure . I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Cuellar and his medical team /staff.  They accepted my insurance, and I’m so grateful!  I hope this helps you too—wishing you a great day and hope you GET HELP with Dr. Jason Cuellar ASAP!  - I ignored my symptoms for way too long, so I hope my review encourages you to reach out to Dr. Cuellar and his team because they will help you to get treatment for your spine and discs.  (Thank you again Dr. Cuellar - you’re amazing and so is your team!)

Questions & Answers

What are the benefits of artificial disc replacement?

Brandon Vazquez | Sep 14, 2021
Jason M. Cuéllar MD - Spine Surgeon | Sep 14, 2021

The chief benefit of an artificial disc replacement is to maintain spinal motion. Spinal fusion procedures to remove damaged disks and permanently join adjacent vertebra can lead to further degradation at the next level of vertebra. This sequence of events can lead to more discomfort and impairment. For this very reason, Dr. Cuéllar believes that it’s best to maintain spinal motion whenever possible. He specializes in treating spinal disorders without fusion using artificial disc replacement and is a leader in the field of motion-preservation technology.

Is there an alternative to steroid injections?

Brandon Vazquez | Sep 14, 2021
Jason M. Cuéllar MD - Spine Surgeon | Sep 14, 2021

While epidural steroid injections are frequently given to those who suffer severe back and neck pain, new alternative therapies are emerging that offer relief from the discomfort of damaged spinal nerves. Dr. Cuéllar specializes in anti- inflammatory injections for a variety of spine and orthopaedic conditions. He offers next-generation PRP (platelet-rich plasma) containing potent anti- inflammatory properties to treat severe joint or back pain.

What is regenerative medicine?

Brandon Vazquez | Sep 14, 2021
Jason M. Cuéllar MD - Spine Surgeon | Sep 14, 2021

Regenerative medicine is a relatively recent and exciting area of medicine that offers enormous potential to alleviate the pain and improve function for individuals who have lost or damaged tissue. The primary goal of regenerative medicine is to promote the body’s ability to self-heal. Regenerative medicine harnesses the therapeutic capacity of a person’s own cells to facilitate the repair or replacement of damaged, diseased, and degenerating tissue with new tissue. It includes procedures such as stem cell therapy and treatment with platelet rich plasma (PRP).

What does the term, minimally-invasive spine surgery mean?

Brandon Vazquez | Sep 14, 2021
Jason M. Cuéllar MD - Spine Surgeon | Sep 14, 2021

While some practitioners define minimally invasive surgical procedures as ones involving small incisions, Dr. Cuéllar also factors in the amount of muscle dissection and muscle damage that the surgeon makes during the surgery. When a surgical procedure is necessary, Dr. Cuéllar looks to achieve the best outcomes in care with techniques and approaches that disrupt and damage the least amount of muscle tissue.

Does your practice offer options in non-surgical spine treatment?

Brandon Vazquez | Sep 14, 2021
Jason M. Cuéllar MD - Spine Surgeon | Sep 14, 2021

As someone who has undergone two spinal surgeries, Dr. Cuéllar is well aware that everyone prefers non-operative and conservative approaches to care whenever possible. Unless a problem that can only be addressed with a surgical procedure is present, Dr. Cuéllar tailors an initial non-surgical plan of care to address your needs, alleviate your discomfort, and restore optimal function. He recognizes that many instances of back and neck pain can be treated without spine surgery and often respond to massage therapy, physical therapy, strengthening exercises, acupuncture, anti-inflammatory injections, and other related types of care.
