Our philosophy

Dr. Attenello’s patient centric philosophy is based on the view that healthcare is a partnership between patient and surgeon with an emphasis on patient education and understanding as key components to the shared medical decision-making process. The goal is to provide compassionate and evidence based care for all patients, as if they were his own family.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Dr. Attenello’s familiarity with the most up-to-date advancements in the field allows him to perform minimally invasive techniques to maintain smaller incisions with less tissue damage ultimately resulting in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery for patients. He has authored 3 textbook chapters on spine surgery and techniques.

State of the art technology

Dr. Attenello joined his fellowship director, Dr. Richard Todd Allen, as the first spine surgeons on the west coast to use augmented reality with 3D navigation in surgery and was featured in Becker’s Spine Review’s “10 Spine Surgeons To Know” and “50+ spine surgeons to know in 2023”

Non-Surgical Treatment

Treatment for back pain is often non-surgical. Exhausting non-surgical options prior to considering surgical options is essential to providing the best treatment for patients.

Multimodal Analgesia

We have a special focus on multimodal analgesia before, during and after surgery to improve postoperative recovery, so patients can feel better sooner.
