Yigal Samocha, MD Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon in New York

New York orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Yigal Samocha is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons and treats disorders of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine: degenerative disc disease, herniated and bulging discs, stenosis and sciatica, bone spurs, scoliosis and spinal fractures.

Training. He earned his medical degree at UT Southwestern, trained in orthopedic surgery at New York Medical College at Westchester Medical Center, and completed his spine fellowship at the Texas Back Institute. He speaks English and Hebrew fluently, with Spanish in medical conversation.

Conservative first. Physical therapy, rehabilitation, pain management and lifestyle changes come before any operation. Surgery comes only when truly necessary, and then the approach matches the case: minimally invasive, motion-preserving or complex reconstruction.

Good bedside manner. He takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and ensures patients understand the plan before moving forward.

At NeuroOrthoNYC in New York he works alongside neurosurgeons, so orthopedic and neurosurgical perspectives review your case together before any plan is settled.
