Arthur Jenkins, III, MD, opened his own spine practice in 2018 after working for more than a decade at New York City-based Mount Sinai.
Dr. Jenkins, of New York City-based Jenkins NeuroSpine has been recognized for his work in complex spinal neurosurgery and has done research on rare conditions including Bertolotti’s syndrome, thoracic disc herniations and spinal fluid leaks.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia and completed his residency at Mount Sinai.
Dr. Jenkins is part of the NYPD Honorary Surgeons Program and has been on call for the NY Jets for more than a decade. He has also been named to multiple “Top Doctor” lists locally and nationally.
In a 2024 episode of “Becker’s Spine and Orthopedic Podcast” he discussed how he’s expanded his knowledge and expertise in the spine field.
“From my perspective I’ve been just learning more about the different areas that I just didn’t understand,” he said. “I’ve learned more in the last five years about autonomic dysfunction and the spine and peripheral nervous system’s impact upon patients who are hypermobile or had an injury that has made their body kink and pinch the autonomic nerves and cause severe problems that we can treat if we understand the biomechanics and then the neurobiology. It’s not taught widely in neurosurgical training, so I had to learn all of this on my own. But as I learn it, I realize there is a whole population of patients out there who aren’t or undertreated for these conditions.”
Dr. Jenkins is speaking at Becker’s 22nd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, set for June 19-21 at the Swissotel Chicago.
