Scoliosis and other spinal deformities such as Kyphosis
and Spondylolisthesis. He has one of the largest spinal deformity
practice on the west coast. He has performed more than
4000 spinal deformity surgeries. Dr. Pashman’s
wealth of experience and expertise has allowed him
to treat highly complex cases. He has practiced at
Cedars Sinai Medical Center for the last 20 years.

cervical artificial disc, and he has performed over 2000

Spinal conditions such as Scoliosis require surgery.
Surgery for herniated discs, on the other hand, is
a last resort after the patient has exhausted conservative
measures of treatment. Dr. Pashman is happy to assist
the patient in making an informed surgical decision. View a video of Dr. Pashman explaining surgical options.
What to expect:

has a direct approach to spine care. He only treats
patients who need surgical intervention. If he does not

Dr. Pashman provides a clear and concise explanation of
the patients condition and the surgical procedure.
Although Dr. Pashman teaches residents and fellows,
he personally performs every surgery.
