We are so proud to be part of the team that has brought advanced spine procedures to the residents of the Mat-Su Valley. Dr. Garret Schuchart and the surgical team at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center successfully completed the first lumbar disc replacement surgery performed in the Mat-Su Valley last month!
“Being able to offer this procedure locally means more patients can receive high-level spine care closer to home, while staying connected to their families, support systems, and communities during recovery.” – Dr. Schuchart
