J. Brian Gill, MD, is an orthopedic spine surgeon at the Nebraska Spine Center in Omaha. He also provides care at the Nebraska Spine Hospital in Omaha. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons. He is also a member of North American Spine Society, Clinical Orthopaedic Society and Mid-America Orthopaedic Association. He is a reviewer for Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery and Osteoporosis International.
Dr. Gill is fellowship trained and his areas of interest include minimally invasive cervical and lumbar spine surgeries, deformity and degenerative conditions, and workers compensation injuries.
"I think that there are a couple of examples in which patients can benefit from spine surgeons partnering with other surgeons," said Dr. Gill in a Becker's Spine Review article. "First, orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons partnering together can provide a complement and comprehensive list of services to patients. While both specialties perform spine surgery, each has their own unique abilities that will provide a synergistic effect for patients. Another example would be the use of approach surgeons such as general surgeons or vascular surgeons. Using select individuals as an approach surgeon will allow those individual physicians to become more proficient in their skills to access the anterior spine. This will allow greater efficiencies such as time while reducing potential complications."
Dr. Gill earned his medical degree and completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock. He completed a fellowship in adult spinal surgery at Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Medical Center.
