Providing Excellence in Neurosurgical Care

Setting the Standard

The mission of Boulder Neurosurgical & Spine Associates (BNA) is to be at the forefront of neurosurgical and orthopedic spine care and to expand the development and application of new techniques and instrumentation. BNA surgeons have published their research in dozens of peer-reviewed articles and have detailed early experience using state-of-the-art, minimally invasive, surgical techniques. We hold several patents on innovative instrumentation for spinal surgery that enable surgeons to perform surgery using small incisions, which benefit patients in many ways including less recovery time. After initial evaluation, our surgeons strive to treat patients conservatively and without surgical intervention whenever possible. Patients who undergo surgery are treated with the most advanced and least invasive techniques. BNA surgeons compile clinical information and patient treatment outcomes in order to analyze results and further refine and improve patient care.

Responsible, Capable Excellence

A core principle at BNA is to be responsible in our approach to patient care. Forward thinking coupled with continuous innovation make BNA surgeons and affiliated staff more capable. State-of-the-art technologies help us reduce patient risk in even the most challenging surgical cases. BNA’s quest to be a center of excellence has helped to keep us at the leading edge in our field. BNA was the first practice in the region to perform lumbar (low back) fusion utilizing minimally invasive surgical advances. BNA was the first in Colorado, and among the several in the world, to use the ultramodern CyberKnife® Radiosurgery system. In addition, BNA was first in Colorado to incorporate intraoperative MRI and O-ARM imaging systems to precisely guide cranial and spinal procedures using real-time feedback during surgery.

Excellence Proven by Results

BNA believes positive results are what matters most to patients. We strongly believe in scientific research and the proven outcomes it affords. Our surgeons are committed to improving treatment protocols to improve clinical outcomes. In addition to providing consistent, top-quality patient outcomes, improved clinical results means reducing risks, minimizing pain, speeding recovery and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. While neurosurgeons are medicine’s most trained spine and brain specialists, we find a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach further improves clinical outcomes. We work closely with affiliated specialists to provide patients with speedier, more effective relief, which is often conservative treatment instead of surgery. BNA offers some of the region's best results in the treatment of spine and brain disorders and accomplishes this with patient-tailored care blended with heartfelt compassion and dedication to each patient’s unique circumstances.
