Helping patients avoid unnecessary fusion surgery through careful diagnosis, advanced endoscopic techniques, and an education-first approach.

A New Standard in Spine Care

Dr. Gollogly is an experienced surgeon practicing endoscopic spine surgery—the most minimally invasive surgical option available for herniated discs and spinal stenosis. He was one the first surgeons on the West Coast to learn these techniques and has performed over 2,000 of these procedures, combining technical precision with outpatient efficiency and rapid recovery protocols.

Our new private practice is designed around digital triage, rapid MRI review, and thoughtful consultation, with the goal of letting you know within 48 hours whether we can help.
