“Dr. Phillips has tremendous clinical experience, and we are very fortunate to have him join Baxano’s board of directors as we begin the commercial release of the iO-Flex system to the surgical community,” Tony Recupero, Baxano’s president and CEO, said in the release.
Dr. Phillips is currently professor of orthopedic surgery and head of the Section of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
