Complete care of the spine

From OrthoWest: he believes the best way to treat spinal problems is with a team approach that allows for complete care of the spine.

Advanced care close to home

West Georgia access to fellowship-trained spine surgery and robotic navigation at Tanner — so world-class tools are not only available in larger cities.

The full range of spine care

From minimally invasive to complex deformity

Spine problems are not one-size-fits-all. Care can range from ultra-minimally invasive corridors to robotic navigation for complex deformity — matched to your anatomy, symptoms, and goals.

Minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery — pencil-width access corridor

Minimally invasive

Pencil-width access

A small camera and instruments through a narrow corridor — less muscle disruption when the problem can be reached that way.

Globus robotic navigation for complex spine deformity surgery

Complex & robotic

Robotic precision for deformity

Globus guidance and 3D navigation for instrumented and deformity cases — advanced tools close to home at Tanner.

Matched to your anatomy — not a one-size approach.

How it works

A path built around your life — not a rush to surgery.

Listen first, explain options clearly, treat as a team, and operate with intention when necessary.

  1. Listen without rushing

    Share your neck or back story — what hurts, what you have tried, and what getting back to normal would mean. Visits are meant to be thorough, not hurried.

  2. Clear explanation of options

    Dr. Gumidyala takes time to explain the problem and the paths forward so you can choose care that fits your life — not a one-size plan.

  3. Team-based spine care

    He believes spinal problems are best treated with a coordinated team, so you get complete care of the spine rather than fragmented advice.

  4. Surgery when it truly helps

    Non-operative care comes first whenever it can. When an operation is the right next step, fellowship-trained surgery — including robotic navigation at Tanner when appropriate — supports precision and recovery.
