New Spine Physician to Join SOS
SOS is happy to announce that Dr. Colin Harris, a fellowship trained spine and scoliosis surgeon will be joining us in the summer of 2010. He has experience treating a wide range of spinal disorders including adult degenerative conditions, pediatric and adult spinal deformity, and spinal tumors. Dr. Harris is currently completing this fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. He was born and raised in Virginia and completed his medical school at New York Medical College and residency training at UMDNJ- New Jersey Medical School in New Jersey. Dr. Harris will be working primarily out of the Spine Center at Widewaters and will be performing the bulk of his surgical care at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
He is extensively trained in Minimally Invasive Surgery techniques for addressing lumbar and cervical degenerative conditions, and has experience with motion-preservation surgeries including disc replacement. Dr. Harris’ practice will focus on both operative and non-operative treatments for adult and pediatric spine conditions, including spinal trauma and osteoporosis.
His philosophy in treating patients is that surgery should generally be performed only when all other treatment options have failed to improve the condition, and the least invasive surgical technique possible should be used to ensure a quick and successful recovery.
He is married and he and his wife Sophia will be joining us here in Syracuse on August 23rd after taking some time to honeymoon and travel. Dr. Harris ran both track and cross country while at Columbia and continues to enjoying running and playing basketball in his free time.
