Randolph Bishop, MD, is a neurosurgeon at Neurological Institute of Savannah (Ga.). He is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgery and Georgia Neurological Society. His work has appeared in The Journal of Neurosurgery and Neurosurgery.
Dr. Bishop is board-certified and focuses on minimally invasive techniques in treating spinal disorders and pediatric spinal deformities. He also has a professional interest in back pain, degenerative spine, lumbar spinal stenosis and neurosurgery.
"Specialty outpatient spine surgery centers will be the location where novel and unique treatments for spinal disease will originate and develop," said Dr. Bishop in a Becker's Spine Review article. "The development of adult stem cells to delay or slow the degenerative cascade will be a technology that will come from these centers. The bureaucracy of hospitals and larger institutions will prove to be a hurdle in pioneering this and other new treatments."
Dr. Bishop earned his medical degree at the University of Missouri in Columbia. He completed his internship and neurosurgery residency at University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham.
