Spine Center — Rapid Case Review

The Spine Center at UCSF Medical Center is committed to evaluating and treating the most complex and challenging cases, including those of an urgent matter. For urgent conditions that cannot wait for review at our monthly Tumor Board, we provide a rapid multidisciplinary case review within 48 hours of submission.

We bring together world-renowned specialists in orthopedics, neurosurgery and other specialties to treat complex spinal problems, including those that have failed previous treatment and difficult-to-diagnose conditions. Our team includes cancer specialists, complementary medicine specialists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses, physiatrists, physical therapists, radiologists and rheumatologists.
