One surgery, two specialties: orthopedics and neurosurgery

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.

MedStar Health Doc Talk… real conversations with physician experts from around the largest healthcare system in the Maryland-DC region.

Is your neck or back pain caused by your vertebrae, or your nerves? If you are considering spine surgery, what type of specialist should you see? In this episode of DocTalk, we talk with neurosurgeon Dr. Victor Du and orthopaedic spine surgeon Dr. Bradley Moatz about the neurosurgical and orthopaedic perspectives on spine surgery.

Understand the history behind two different specialties treating the same condition, the modern-day overlap between them, and MedStar Health’s team approach.
