Dr Siddiqui is an orthopedic spine surgeon fellowship trained in spinal disorders both surgical and non-surgical. Dr Siddiqui believes in providing the appropriate type and level or care tailored to the individual patient. Whether it is non operative care such as physical therapy, brace treatment, injections or some other form of non surgical treatment, the ultimate goal is to make the patient feel better and return to normalcy in everyday tasks.
If surgical care is what you require, there are a range of options from traditional spinal fusions, to state of the art cutting edge options such as disc replacement, minimally invasive spine surgery, kyphoplasty, minimally invasive surgery and other emerging technologies such as interspinous distraction procedures.
Dr Siddiqui completed his medical degree at the University of New South Wales, Sydney
Australia. After a residency at St. Vincent's Medical Center and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical
Center in New York City, Dr Siddiqui focused on spine care by completing a prestigious fellowship in spinal surgery at the Texas Back Institute in Plano, Texas.
Dr Siddiqui has published articles in numerous orthopedic and spine peer reviewed journals and a text book chapter on lumbar spinal arthroplasty. He has presented his research at national and international spine and orthopedic meetings and received awards for his research.
