Dr. Naraghi is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He specializes in minimally invasive cervical and lumbar disc surgery, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, spine disorders, degenerative spinal disorders and spinal stenosis.

“For every case it is different, but as a rule I tend to have lower risk patients for outpatient spine surgeries,” said Dr. Naraghi in a Becker’s Spine Review article. “An important part of that is pain management for the patient. If the patient has a high pain management requirement, I would be very careful about doing those procedures as outpatient procedures because controlling the pain is going to be hard.”

Dr. Naraghi earned his medical degree at New York Medical College in Valhalla. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of New Mexico Hospitals in Albuquerque and a fellowship in spine surgery at the San Francisco Spine Institute.
