Ridgecrest Regional Hospital has teamed up with USC Neurosurgery, part
of Keck Medicine of USC to create a state-of-the-art Neurosurgery Spine
Clinic, specializing in spinal care. The Spine Clinic Neurosurgeons are
trained to help patients suffering from pain stemming from complex clinical
problems associated with the neck and back.
The collaboration with Keck Medicine of USC will connect RRH patients to
a comprehensive system for spinal care with one of the best neurosurgery
programs in the United States. RRH will work hand-in-hand with Keck Medicine
to offer patients outstanding pre- and post-op care. The spine clinic
will focus on patient evaluation and treatment, with collaboration and
coordination at Keck Hospital of USC for surgical services, should these
services be required.
Patients will initially see current RRH providers Christian Schwartz PA-C
and Kelly Doty PA-C, who will manage all pre-surgery evaluations and necessary
diagnostics. The collaboration will then connect patients with Keck Medicine
neurosurgeons Patrick Hsieh, MD and John C. Liu, MD, who will be based
at RRH for one day every month. RRH will then proceed to manage post-surgery
care for the patient.
Some conditions that can be treated by neurosurgeons include:
Herniated discs
Spinal tumors
Spinal stenosis
Spinal cord injuries
Peripheral nerve injuries
Huntington’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
