Spine Surgery in Seattle, WA

I am happy to announce that Hoan Tran, M.D. has joined our team at Seattle Spine Institute.

Dr. Tran is a board-certified neurosurgeon whose practice approach resonates perfectly with Seattle Spine Institute in that Dr. Tran treats his patients and their families with empathy, respect, and compassion. He is committed to educating patients regarding their spinal conditions, including them at every step of their care, and helping them make the most informed decisions possible when it comes to their individual conditions and treatment options (surgical and nonsurgical).

Also consistent with our practice approach, Dr. Tran specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques, and motion-sparing options when they are possible. Furthermore, Dr. Tran is also an expert at diagnosing and treating cervical conditions. He approaches the cervical spine in the same way, looking for the least invasive solution to address the patient’s symptomatology.

The addition of Dr. Tran extends Seattle Spine Institute’s capability, as we can now care for any problem throughout the entire spine (from the neck to the low back), and I am excited that Dr. Tran has joined our team.

Sincerely, Paul E. Schwaegler, M.D.

About Seattle Spine Institute

Seattle Spine Institute specializes in treating problems affecting the lower back. At the office in Seattle, Washington, Paul E. Schwaegler, MD, and Jeff Fernandez, PA, take the time to understand each person, empowering every patient with knowledge about their condition and treatment options.

The team at Seattle Spine Institute treats patients with empathy, respect, and compassion. They understand that spine conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, often cause extreme, debilitating pain that dramatically affects the quality of life.

They also understand that making decisions about the best treatment can be confusing and overwhelming. The team never rushes patients through the process. They explain non-surgical and surgical options, include patients in every step of their spinal care, and provide the treatments that meet their unique physical and psychological needs.

The team begins spine treatments with conservative therapies, recommending minimally invasive spine surgery only when symptoms don’t improve. As an experienced and skilled board-certified spine surgeon, Dr. Schwaegler performs many procedures, including total disc replacements, spinal decompression, sacroiliac joint fusions, and spondylolisthesis surgery.
