Watch an interview with Paul J. Marcotte, MD, a neurosurgeon at Penn Medicine.

"The most important part is to review the patient's story; how their pain came along, what things aggravate the pain and what things relieve their pain. Although I've been trained to treat all sorts of neurosurgical problems, my main focus is patients with spinal disorders."

"At the University of Pennsylvania, our approach -- our goal of -- with spinal surgery is to dispel the myths and the mysteries regarding spinal problems and their -- and their treatment."

"The strengths of Penn Medicine is that we're blessed with a full complement of very talented physicians in every discipline in medicine. It's not infrequent when patients present to us with a spinal problem in the surgeon's office that they are very hesitant to consider or consent to surgery."

"When it comes to spinal problems, there's no unique solution for every single patient and it's become apparent to me that unlike the results and outcomes that people have feared that resulted 30 years ago with spinal surgery, that with a greater understanding of spinal disorders and the technologies and techniques that are out there now, the results of spine surgery are much improved and people do have a beneficial effect."

"At our institution, what we do then since we have all these technologies available to us, we thoroughly evaluate your problem to determine precisely which technologies are necessary to make you better."

"I'm Dr. Paul Marcotte. I'm a Neurosurgeon at Penn Medicine."
