Aaand it happened again. Total dumb luck I just got around to posting about 2021 yesterday! Congrats to @nhrmc OR nurses, staff and surgeons! Three-peat in 2023? #spinesurgery #neurosurgery https://t.co/IRBcLfsuNW

@nhrmc was one of only two North Carolina hospitals to be awarded with a Healthgrades Spine Surgery Excellence Award in 2021 (not Duke, not UNC). Anyone else think this may have to do with the lateral single position surgical techniques we pioneered here?

We just published another groundbreaking study validating lateral single-position surgery. It’s not just faster...it’s also better for the patient. #singlepositionlateral #nuvasive #xalif #nhrmc https://t.co/ePX87RO5II

Check your expectations prior to spine surgery https://t.co/FTXtM94BVO

[J. Alex Thomas, MD @SpinalConfusion]

Check out a recent case debate I participated in with my friend Dr. Ray Hah at USC. When you believe in indirect decompression you get maximum efficiency with lateral single position surgery. #singlepositionlateral https://t.co/idf6LcMRz7 via @YouTube
