Dr. Leahy believes in taking a conservative approach to treating the spine. "In my practice, surgical treatment of spinal disorders is always a last resort. It is only after exhaustive conservative efforts have been attempted that surgery is appropriate. I feel that this is the safest approach to treating the spine and allows for the best surgical outcomes."

Dr. Leahy is a strong proponent of minimally invasive surgical techniques including nonfusion procedures such as artificial disc replacement. He is proficient in all of the most current surgical techniques in the treatment of spinal disorders. He incorporates these treatment alternatives into his practice whenever possible.

"Every patient is different and will require an individualized treatment plan," Dr. Leahy said. "I want my patients to know that I will take a very thorough approach to treating their spinal issues."
