In the future, everything in medicine with relate to prevention, said Dr. Vaynman in a Becker’s Spine Review article. “We should concentrate on how to prevent the disease, diagnosing and catching it at earlier stages and treating them with early intervention, to put patients back on track for better health. There should be a combined approach of the surgeons with psychologists, pain management specialists, primary care physicians, neurologists and other specialists so the disease is diagnosed at an early stage and patients are educated about the best behavioral traits in avoiding spinal problems.”

Dr. Vaynman earned his medical degree at SUNY-Downstate College of Medicine in New York. He completed his residency in neurosurgery at The University Hospital, Newark, N.J. He has also completed a fellowship in complex spine surgery at Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
