Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Over 8,000 successful procedures and counting.

Dr. Tony Mork, MD provides Endoscopic Spine Surgery as a solution to your back pain, eliminating the need for opiates and resorting to dangerous surgical procedures that end up leaving patients in more pain than prior to the procedure.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive approach and typically an outpatient procedure where most patients return to their "normal" selves in approximately 1-6 weeks.

It has been over three years I was operated by Dr. Mork for multiple problems at multiple levels caused by degenerative disc disease and injuries. Stenosis and other bone and disc problems I had at those multiple levels had pretty much incapacitated me. Since then, my quality of life has greatly improved. I am not young again, but I can get around and enjoy my family and friends again. I am so appreciative. I highly recommend Dr. Mork.

Before surgery at age 71 I had to take a knee on the t box waiting my turn playing Golf. While shopping I could walk about 40 yards before I had to sit somewhere for awhile. I'm 73 now and playing 2 to 4 times a week from the white tees. I'm also skippering a 25' sailboat and racing once or twice a week without any pain! I work out 4 or 5 times a week. All this thanks to Dr Mork. He has perfected endoscopic back surgery. You can hardly see my tiny scar.

Before I saw Dr. Mork, my back was a mess. I couldn't do much, I couldn't run, I could barely walk, I couldn't work out. After my surgery and the healing process i'm running 20+ miles a week, I am back to weight training but most of all, he gave me my life back. He is quite simply stated the best doctor i've ever been treated by. I never in my life imagined having this kind of life again. Thank you

This is the first review I’ve ever written about anyone, but I’m compelled to add 5 stars on behalf of Dr. Tony Mork and his wonderful staff. I had a phone consultation with Dr. Mork in which he very patiently and thoroughly explained what had been causing all my pain. Meeting him for the first time on the morning of surgery solidified my impression that this was a kind, caring, and professional man. After endoscopically removing a cyst from my lumbar spine and decompressing the facet joint, he followed up with a home visit and phone calls to check on my progress. I am pain-free just 4 weeks after surgery! Finding Dr. Mork was an answer to prayer and I’m very grateful!

I did major internet research regarding my back issue and it continually led me to Dr. Mork. I had my surgery in February, 2013 and I am feeling great! Almost two months later and I am back to 30 minute walks twice a day, swimming, a little hiking and back to work. The existing pain I had is completely gone. Every day I am feeling a little stronger. I would highly recommend Dr. Mork. Thank you Thank you Thank you...

Doctor really had video chat with me and spent enough time to listen my problem. It is unbelievable that doctor and his assistant keeps replying me to get more details. Till now, my experience with other doctors was very bad, either doctors don't have knowledge or don't have time, but Dr. Tony Mork has good knowledge and really spend enough time in his busy schedule to see patients and reports. My call was at 6 am. Thanks Doctor.

Dr. Mork is amazing ! I recently did a phone consult to go over my MRI . He took the time to explain everything and what he thought was going on in my lower back. I never felt like I was rushed during our phone call and ended the call with all questions answered and a plan in action to get to the bottom of my back pain.

Dr. Mork is wonderful. I had sciatica for several months and my toes were numb for 6 months. After my surgery in 2007, I only had post surgical pain with no sciatica the night after my surgery. I was able to ride in a car from Florida to Northeast Texas 1 or 2 days after my surgery with no difficulty. In 2015, an MRI was sent to Dr. Mork concerning my back again and he promptly called me and discussed the report. He did not sugar coat anything but told me his professional opinon with straight forward language that I could understand. He even suggested that I not have surgery now but to contact him if symptoms worsen. That shows me he is not just interested in doing more surgeries to obtain more revenue. The only doctor I want operating on my back is Dr. Mork.

Dr. Mork is the true professional I was willing to allow to do endoscopic surgery on my stenosis. He was available post surgery and checked on me personally in my hotel room for post-surgical care. He is one of the best in a world of doctors who have lost their way.

Dr.Mork helped me diagnose my back issue. He really cares about getting your life back and out of pain. He helped me with a L5-S1 far lateral toxic annular tear. I enjoy health and fitness and with my back issues and nerve symptoms it was impossible to enjoy my activities and even function in my life. He spent a hour with me in his office answering questions and listening to my story and symptoms. He and his staff were professional and kind. It doesn’t matter what state or where you come from he can help! Thanks Dr. Mork!

I had lumbar spinal surgery in 2004 and have been totally asymptomatic ever since. Wonderful work and no more pain. My wife had the same surgery in 2008 for her cervical spine and now she can use her hand again. Immediate correction and also asymptomatic ever since. A wonderful surgeon.

I had tingling, pins and needles, and pain when writing or holding items in my left (dominant) hand. Dr Mork ordered an MRI after an initial evaluation and reviewed the MRI with me carefully explaining all the issues (herniated disc and foraminal stenosis). He recommended surgery and scheduled an outpatient procedure at a convenient time. I had immediate same day relief of my symptoms and left the hospital less than 12 hours later. Four months later I still have to be careful not to overstress my neck but I am still happy with the outcome since all my initial complaints have gone away. I have called the doctor on two occasions to ask questions - he was happy to talk with me, I never felt rushed and we worked out a plan of action. His staff is excellent: helpful and charming. Dr Mork's expertise is astonishing. It is a shame there aren't more doctors like him.

Dr. is the one of the best doctor I have ever met. He understand what is the best for the patient and he has the best skills and the best experience to make his patient benefit the most from his surgery and treatment with minimal cost and suffering. His high quality warrant the high reputation as a best orthopedic surgeon in the world. My recent experience and outcome of the endoscopic cervical disk surgery of herniation was the evidence of what I commented above. Therefor, I highly recommend Dr. Mork to you if you have spinal disk problem and be told that you need disk fusion surgery!

Recently, I flew in to California from Toronto to meet with Dr. Tony Mork. He was extremely professional and so was the entire staff at Coast Spine. He took the time to listen and time to answer all my questions while explaining the procedure. I can't thank him enough for the care and attention that was given to me prior and post-surgery. I am completely satisfied with Dr. Mork, he was beyond amazing and so was his team! This was a first-rate professional experience for me. You are a true life saver. I am very grateful! Thank you Dr. Mork!

I had a wonderful experience, Dr.Mork explained everything clearly where I could understand, I had so much trouble walking and getting out of a chair due to having spinal stenosis. I am now pain free and can walk without a cane or walker.

The endoscope is the ultimate approach to minimally invasive spine surgery!

The ultimate procedure in the realm of “minimally invasive" surgical procedures is endoscopic spine surgery. Most procedures that claim to be minimally invasive are using a tube that typically ranges from 18-22mm in diameter, which is definitely not "minimally invasive" to say the least. Endoscopic procedures use a tube that has a diameter of 7-10mm. To give you a gauge of how small this is, a dime is nearly 18mm.

Minimally Invasive Means Everything Is Minimal

Minimal incision size

Minimal pain

Minimal anesthesia

Minimal recovery time

Minimal risk of infection

Minimal soft tissue damage

Minimal time at a facility (typically an outpatient procedure)

NO FUSION
