Learn about different surgical procedures and treatment options available for adult scoliosis and spinal deformities at a free seminar being held on Wednesday, November 28 from 6-8:30 PM at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (173 Fort Washington Avenue).
World-renowned spine specialists Lawrence Lenke, MD, Ronald Lehman, MD, and Peter Angevine, MD will host this informational program aimed at helping allay fears and addressing concerns such as pain and discomfort.

As part of New York's #1 hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Och Spine Hospital doctors use an interdisciplinary approach that draws on neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, physiatry, pain management and physical therapy to best support patients from diagnosis through rehabilitation.
