Laser Spine Institute Celebrates 5th Anniversary

On March 14, 2005, Laser Spine Institute opened for business with just three physicians and nine employees. Working in a 2,500-square-foot space, the small team averaged about 15 procedures per month. Five years later, Laser Spine Institute has grown into the leader in minimally invasive spine procedures. In fact, no surgical provider in the world can match the 400 spine procedures that Laser Spine Institute performs on average each month.

Why has the company experienced such phenomenal growth? Certainly there has proven to be a tremendous demand for a gentle alternative to traditional open back and neck surgery ... one that allows patients to be back on their feet in about an hour, and back to normal activities in just a couple of days.

Today, Laser Spine Institute boasts 18 physicians and nearly 300 employees who are committed to "Above and Beyond" patient care. Stacy Danahy, Laser Spine Institute director of medical operations, explains, "As I look back on the past five years, I truly love the difference we make in people's lives, whether it is surgical, educational, medical or personal. I believe in our leaders and surgeons, assisting people who have often tried so many alternatives find real relief and get their lives back."

The company now performs endoscopic procedures in surgical centers in Tampa, FL; Scottsdale, AZ; and Philadelphia, PA. In addition, patient consultations are also provided in convenient medical facilities in Beverly Hills, CA; San Diego, CA; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; and The Villages, FL.

To keep up with the unprecedented interest in its outpatient procedures, Laser Spine Institute hosts free educational seminars in cities throughout the United States and Canada. In 2009, more than 16,000 people took advantage of the comprehensive presentations, which are highlighted by the opportunity for attendees to have their MRI films or CT scans reviewed by board-certified physicians.

Laser Spine Institute is proud to celebrate its 5th anniversary of helping people find relief from debilitating pain.
