Spine surgeon in Princeton, Texas.

Spine care for Princeton

Princeton is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, with young families filling new neighborhoods along US-380 and a growing base of construction, trades, and logistics work. Dr. Choi sees the pattern that comes with a boomtown: lifting and fall injuries from job sites, back strains from physically demanding work, and the accumulated wear of long commutes for residents who work west in Plano and Frisco. His evaluations start with the full picture — your work, your activities, your imaging — before any talk of procedures, and he is direct about when you do not need surgery.

Consultations and second opinions in Princeton

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. If you have already been recommended a fusion, a disc replacement, or a decompression, 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 at 7217 Telecom Pkwy, Suite 325 is about 35 minutes from Princeton — west on US-380 to US-75, south to the President George Bush Turnpike, then east to the Telecom Parkway exit. 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.
