Built for the Spine. Focused on You.
When it comes to spine care, details matter. From the way your imaging is captured, to the precision of your procedure, to the recovery support you receive after surgery, every step counts.
That’s why choosing the right outpatient surgery center isn’t just about location or convenience. It’s about specialization.
At Vertrae®, everything we do is designed with one thing in mind: the spine.
What Is a Spine-Focused ASC?
A spine-focused ASC (Ambulatory Surgery Center) is not a general surgery facility. It’s a dedicated, highly specialized center built from the ground up to treat spine conditions, and only spine conditions.
Unlike hospital ORs or broad surgical centers, where providers juggle multiple specialties and cases, a spine-focused ASC brings together:
- A spine-only surgical environment
- Advanced imaging and diagnostic equipment tailored for spinal anatomy
- Staff trained exclusively in spine care
- Surgical protocols designed for faster, safer outpatient spine recovery
Why Specialization Matters: The Vertrae® Model
At Vertrae® Surgery Center, Dayton’s leading outpatient spine center, specialization isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a blueprint.
Everything inside our ASC, from the equipment we use to the expertise we offer, was chosen for one reason: to treat spine conditions better, faster, and more comfortably than traditional settings.
Here’s how:
1. Spine-Specific Training for Every Team Member
Our nurses, surgical techs, coordinators, and therapists are all trained in the unique needs of spine patients. That means fewer complications, faster care, and better outcomes.
2. Minimally Invasive Techniques by a Dual-Fellowship-Trained Spine Surgeon
Dr. Kamal Woods, our founder and lead surgeon, is one of the few spine specialists in the country with dual fellowship training in both orthopedic and neurosurgical spine care at the renowned Cedar Sinai. This rare combination gives him unmatched precision and perspective.
Patients in Dayton, OH, and across the region trust Dr. Woods for:
- Herniated disc surgery
- Sciatica treatment
- Cervical and lumbar fusion
- Artificial disc replacement
- And more—all performed outpatient, often with same-day discharge
3. Built from the Ground Up for Spine Patients
Our facility wasn’t adapted for spine care. It was created for it. That includes:
- Specialized OR tables and positioning tools
- Imaging equipment that captures the exact angles needed for spinal alignment
- Recovery bays designed for post-spinal procedure monitoring
- A peaceful, clean, quiet environment that promotes healing
Not Just Surgery. Comprehensive Spine Expertise.
At Vertrae®, your care doesn’t end with the procedure. We also offer:
- Spine-focused physical therapy
- Diagnostic imaging and guided injections
- Coordinated case review between Dr. Woods and our spine-trained PA and nursing team
Whether you’re recovering from a microdiscectomy or exploring non-surgical treatments, everything we offer is grounded in evidence-based spine protocols—and customized to you.
