Spine Care Specialists of Alaska is owned and operated by local surgeons; we have families and live and work right here in Fairbanks. Surgeries are performed at The Surgery Center of Fairbanks or at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, depending on the procedure and technology. While Fairbanks is a small town we do get the pleasure of utilizing some of the most advanced techniques and equipment in the industry, such as BRAINLAB and minimally invasive laser surgery techniques.
