Dr. Macyszyn and his practice pride themselves on utilizing the most cutting-edge techniques and technologies to return patients back to their normal lives in Los Angeles, California, quickly, safely, and comfortably.

Spinal Deformeties

Spinal Nerve Compression

Herniated Disc

Neck & Back Pain

Degenerative Disc Disease

Tumors of the Spine

Spine Fractures

Decompression Surgery

The mainstay and workhorse of spinal surgery, decompressive procedures (laminectomy, microdiscectomy) relieve pressure and pain from a compressed spinal nerve. Dr. Macyszyn uses cutting-edge techniques and tools to perform these procedures, allowing patients to resume walking the same day.

Learn More

Cervical Spine Fusion

Cervical disc fusion involves surgically joining two or more vertebrae in the neck to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain. This procedure is often necessary for patients with severe spinal instability or degenerative conditions.

Learn More

Cervical Disc Replacement

An alternative to spinal fusion, disc replacement involves replacing a worn or degenerated disk in either the cervical or lumbar spine with an artificial disk. Artificial disks allow patients to maintain normal spinal motion and shorten recovery.

Learn More

Outpatient Spinal Tumor Surgery

By utilizing small incisions, specialized instruments, and a high-power microscope, Dr. Macyszyn is able to remove intradural and extradural tumors (such as schwannoma, meningioma, and ependymoma) in an outpatient setting. Patients have less pain and a shorter recovery, allowing them to go home the next day.

Learn More

Complex Spine Surgery

The treatment of scoliosis, adult spinal deformities, spine fractures, and tumors of the spine often require complex reconstructive techniques. Dr. Macyszyn uses a specialized, personalized approach to select the least invasive surgery that maximizes patient outcome with the shortest recovery.

Learn More

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Unlike open spine surgery, minimally invasive approaches can be faster, safer, and require a much shorter recovery time. Dr. Macyszyn utilizes these techniques whenever feasible to ensure that patients return to their normal, pain-free life as quickly as possible.

Hear it from Our Patients

The words “miracle” and “magic” get thrown around a lot, but it’s hard not to attach those words to my situation. Simply put, Dr. Macyszyn gave me another chance at life. The care and attention he and his incredible staff have treated me to is special and will stay with me forever. When times got rough and no one wanted to, nor could do anything about it, Dr. Macyszyn took me in and performed a very difficult surgery. I now have a second chance. To anyone here, please rest assured that you are in the literal best hands. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr.

Valentine Poperechnaya

Dr. Macyszyn literally saved my sister’s life and I can’t thank him enough! My only regret is that I didn’t meet him so that I could personally thank him. My sister’s case was extremely dire, her Las Vegas Neurosurgeon had the wisdom to reach out to Dr. Macyszyn to see if he would take her case; my sister was then flown from Las Vegas to UCLA where the surgery was performed. The team that assisted Dr. Macyszyn were also wonderful! Thank God for people like you, with your wisdom, skillset, professionalism and kindness.
