Introducing the Enhanced Edgewood Spine and Pain Management Center: A New Era in Comprehensive Spine Care
At Edgewood Surgical Hospital, we’ve long understood that managing spine and pain conditions requires a thoughtful, comprehensive approach. Today, we’re excited to announce the evolution of our Pain Management Center into the Edgewood Center for Spine and Pain Management, marking an important expansion to further our ability to serve our community’s spine health needs.
This transformation goes far beyond a simple name change. While we have always provided comprehensive pain management services, we’re now integrating advanced surgical capabilities into our treatment offerings. We’re particularly proud to welcome Jeffrey Watts, DO, a distinguished orthopedic spine surgeon, to our team of specialists, joining our established care team that includes Timothy Ko, MD, Robin Molaskey, DO, and Valerie Dodds, CRNP.
A Comprehensive Approach to Spine Health
Our philosophy at the Edgewood Center for Spine and Pain Management remains rooted in conservative, patient-centered care. We believe in exhausting all appropriate non-surgical options before considering more invasive treatments. This approach allows us to provide the right level of care at the right time, always keeping our patients’ best interests at the forefront.
As Western Pennsylvania’s only true one-stop destination for spine health, we now offer an unprecedented continuum of care that includes:
- Advanced diagnostic imaging and testing
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation services
- Minimally invasive pain management procedures
- Surgical interventions when necessary
- Comprehensive follow-up care
