Ep. 13 Teaching the Future of Spine: Research, Motion Preservation, & Improving Care, Jeffrey A. Goldstein, MD

In this episode of The Spine Pod, co-hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Jeffrey A. Goldstein, a globally recognized expert in orthopedic spine surgery and Director of the Spine Surgery Fellowship and Education programs at NYU Langone. With over 30 years of clinical and research experience, Dr. Goldstein is a staunch advocate for conservative, patient-first treatment plans. His patient-centered philosophy focuses on functional outcomes and prioritizing long-term health of every patient he treats.

Dr. Goldstein also discusses his commitment to ongoing innovation, especially in the area of motion preservation. Dedicated to advancing the field, he takes on a dual role as a pioneer in new technologies and a teacher, training residents and fellows in the latest techniques to carry his patient-first legacy forward. He has been a key leader across multiple clinical studies, including being a trainer for both cervical and lumbar artificial discs in the commercialization of ProDisc, as well as being the national PI for 3Spine’s MOTUS Lumbar Total Joint Replacement IDE study. In addition to motion preservation, Dr. Goldstein continues to drive patient-care forward through the use of supplementary emerging technologies, including minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and robotics.

In this episode, listeners will learn about:

• The history of how spine care has changed over the past 30 years
• The entire function spinal unit, and the role of the facets and the disc in the mobility and stability of the spine
• How motion preserving technologies are becoming mainstream options for treating leg and/or back pain in the correctly indicated patient
• The convergence of enabling technologies, and how MIS, robotics, and motion preserving implants are coming together to improve patient outcomes
• The importance of conservative care and exhausting non-operative treatment options prior to receiving spine surgery
• Where the future of spine care is headed and the newest technologies entering the spine market

Dr. Goldstein has been a leading surgeon across the spine industry for more than 20 years, being recognized as a top doctor in America by multiple institutions, including Castle Connolly, New York Magazine, Becker’s, and Newsweek. Aside from being recognized by sources and peers, he has also been the past president of ISASS, one of the largest spine conferences in the world, and also holds the title of professor of both orthopedic and neurosurgery at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. With his accolades in teaching, leadership, and innovation, Dr. Goldstein has had a remarkable impact across the spine community since his inception into medicine.

This episode explores how Dr. Goldstein’s work has not only shaped his practice but also the broader field of spine surgery, primarily through his dedicated contributions to motion preservation and patient-centered innovations. Whether you’re a provider, patient, or industry professional, this episode provides vast insights into the technologies improving patient outcomes and what’s on the horizon for the future of spine surgery.
