Jay Reidler, MD, MPH Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon in New York







About Dr. Jay Reidler
New York orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Jay Reidler is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, with a practice built on complex adult and pediatric spinal deformity, minimally invasive spine surgery and revision surgery after a previous operation.
Training. He holds three Harvard degrees, an A.B. summa cum laude, an MD magna cum laude and an MPH in healthcare management and policy. He trained in orthopaedic surgery at Johns Hopkins as Chief Resident of Education, then completed two spine fellowships across Columbia’s Och Spine Hospital, Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania.
Scope. He treats scoliosis and kyphosis in children and adults, degenerative conditions of the neck and lower back, and spinal trauma, and takes on revision when an earlier operation has not settled the problem.
Patient first. He listens to patients and the family members who come with them, builds the plan around their goals, and recommends surgery only when less invasive options have not succeeded, with robotic-assisted and navigated techniques when warranted.
At NeuroOrthoNYC in New York he works alongside neurosurgeons, so orthopedic and neurosurgical perspectives review your case together before any plan is settled.
