Spine surgeon in Plano, Texas.

Spine care for Plano

Plano is a headquarters city — Toyota North America, Liberty Mutual, JPMorgan Chase and dozens of other employers keep tens of thousands of professionals at desks all day. That shows up in the clinic as chronic neck pain, tension-driven headaches, and lumbar disc problems from years of sitting. Plano is also a family sports town, with youth soccer, baseball, and football filling evenings and weekends — and an active adult recreation scene of leagues, gyms, and weekend training that brings a steady stream of young-adult back injuries. Dr. Choi evaluates the full picture — your work setup, your training load, your imaging — before any talk of procedures.

Consultations and second opinions in Plano

An initial consultation at Choi Spine is deliberately unhurried. Dr. Choi takes a careful history, reviews whatever imaging you bring, and performs a focused examination — then explains in plain language what the findings mean and where conservative treatment can still work. For Plano's desk-bound professionals, that conversation often starts with the workstation: prolonged sitting is associated with neck strain, lumbar disc problems, and tension-driven headaches, and the first line of attack is usually ergonomic change and targeted therapy rather than a procedure.

Independent second opinions are a cornerstone of the practice — patients from across Collin County come in after being told elsewhere that they need a fusion, a disc replacement, or a decompression. Bring the MRI and the operative notes you were given; Dr. Choi will give you a second read on whether the recommendation holds up, and if it does, exactly why. When it doesn't, you will hear that just as directly.

The practice covers the full spectrum, from persistent neck and back pain to complex and revision surgery, with minimally invasive techniques as the default where they genuinely serve the patient. Computer-assisted navigation and augmented reality guide instrumentation when precision matters most — not as showpieces, but as tools that keep the surgical corridor as small as it can responsibly be.

Planning your visit

Call (972) 817-7450 to schedule your visit. The Garland clinic at 7217 Telecom Pkwy, Suite 325 is about 20 minutes from central Plano — east on the President George Bush Turnpike to the Telecom Parkway exit. If you have spine imaging from another provider, bring the images themselves — a disc or portal access, not just the report — plus a list of current medications and any prior procedure notes. Use the online request form for the basics only: name, phone, and preferred location. Detailed medical information doesn't belong in a web form.
