Board-Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Providing Individualized Care Near College Station, TX

If you’re seeking treatment for spinal osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis or another spine condition, Dr. R. Alexander Mohr can help you explore your options and make fully informed decisions. A nationally renowned spine surgeon, he has been practicing with Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine near College Station, Texas, since 2011.

Dr. Mohr’s goal is to help his patients avoid surgery whenever possible. In his experience, many herniated discs and other degenerative spine conditions improve with exercise, injections and time. If surgery is appropriate, however, Dr. Mohr will explain all options in a straightforward manner, and he will always suggest the least invasive procedure that he believes offers the most potential long-term benefits.

Less Invasive Spine Surgery

Dr. Mohr was an early adopter of muscle-sparing surgical techniques, and he continues to be a strong proponent of minimally invasive spine surgery. With this approach, he is able to achieve better long-term results for his patients, in addition to a lower risk of infection and less post-operative pain (as compared to traditional open surgery). But he will not tout a minimally invasive procedure unless he truly believes it is the best option for his patient. For instance, he performs most lumbar procedures and most cervical laminoplasty procedures using traditional techniques while incorporating minimally invasive techniques when possible.

A master of complex spine surgery, Dr. Mohr is well-known for skillfully performing minimally invasive posterior cervical instrumentation and fusion, motion-preserving non-fusion surgery and cervical laminoplasty. He is well-versed in anterior, posterior, lateral and oblique approaches to spine surgery, and he tailors his method based on each patient’s diagnosis, anatomy and body weight. He also offers more options in terms of surgical correction than many other local surgeons. Dr. Mohr’s individualized approach to spine surgery sets him apart from other surgeons who perform each procedure the exact same way every time.
