Meet Dr. Garber
Two decades of spine surgery in Las Vegas
Dr. Jason Garber has practiced neurosurgery in Las Vegas for more than 20 years. Most of his work is on the spine: neck and back problems that haven't improved with therapy, injections or time.
He is known for cervical artificial disc replacement, for complex reconstruction when earlier surgery hasn't worked, and for nerve problems in the arms and legs. He sees patients at Las Vegas Neurosurgical Institute on South Durango Drive.
Approach
How Dr. Garber decides on surgery
Surgery is the last step, not the first
Most neck and back pain gets better without an operation. Dr. Garber recommends surgery only when a clear structural problem on imaging matches your symptoms, and when conservative care has had a fair chance.
Keep motion where it can be kept
For the right patient with a damaged neck disc, replacing the disc keeps that level moving. Fusion stays the better choice for some patients, and he explains which one fits your spine and why.
Every approach to every level
Trained in front, back and side approaches to the whole spine, he picks the route that reaches the problem with the least disruption, rather than the one approach a surgeon happens to prefer.
