Biography

Dr. Kevin Rutz is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon sub-specializing in spinal surgery. When he came into practice in 2003, his goal was to become a Physician who was completely specialized in spinal surgery only. By 2005, he no longer performed general orthopedic surgery. His practice is completely dedicated to the operative and nonoperative treatment of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. By performing a large volume of spinal procedures, he has the benefit of experience and that helps him avoid complications. He easily determines who surgical intervention will help and who it will not. In his practice, he commonly performs lumbar microdiscectomies, lumbar fusions, and cervical fusions. Also, for the past 7 years, he has taken a special interest in cervical disc arthroplasties (cervical disc replacements). He has performed over 1,000 of these disc replacement procedures.
