Spine surgeon in East Dallas, Texas.

Spine care for East Dallas

The Garland clinic serves East Dallas — Lakewood, the White Rock Lake neighborhoods, Casa Linda, Forest Hills — and Northeast Dallas, including Lake Highlands. These established neighborhoods sit just west of Garland along I-635 and Northwest Highway, making the Telecom Parkway clinic an easy trip compared with the medical district.

East Dallas skews toward long-time homeowners and active adults who have spent decades running the lake trail, playing tennis, or working on their feet. The spine problems Dr. Choi sees most here — lumbar stenosis, disc herniations with sciatica, cervical radiculopathy — are precisely the conditions where an accurate diagnosis and a conservative-first plan keep people doing what they love.

Consultations and second opinions in East Dallas

Every new patient visit starts the same way: a careful history, a review of any imaging you bring, and a focused examination — followed by a plain-language explanation of what is going on and what your options are. Dr. Choi favors conservative care when it can work; when surgery is the right answer, he will explain exactly why, what the procedure involves, and what recovery looks like.

A meaningful share of his practice is independent second opinions — patients who have been told they need surgery elsewhere and want another expert read before deciding. East Dallas patients weighing a recommendation from a large hospital system often want exactly that: an independent surgeon’s read. Bring your MRI and prior notes; you will leave with a clear second perspective.

He treats the full range of spinal conditions — from herniated discs, stenosis, and sciatica to complex and revision procedures — using minimally invasive techniques and enabling technologies such as computer-assisted navigation and augmented reality where they genuinely improve precision.

Planning your visit

Call (972) 817-7450 to schedule. The Garland clinic is at 7217 Telecom Pkwy, Suite 325, reachable from East Dallas via I-635 or Northwest Highway. If you have had an MRI or CT of your spine, bring the images (a disc or portal access works); also bring a list of current medications and any prior spine procedure notes. New patients are asked not to include detailed medical information in the online request form — name, phone, and preferred location are all it takes to start.
