A New Chapter Begins And You’re Still in Good Hands

When Dr. Taha retired on November 1, 2025, he didn’t just close a chapter, he carefully opened a new one for his patients. He chose Vertrae® as the next trusted home for your care, because we share his commitment to compassion, integrity, and clinical excellence.

We understand transitions can feel uncertain. But you’re not starting over. You’re moving forward with a team that’s deeply aligned with Dr. Taha’s vision for what great spine care should be.
