Biographical Sketch

Dr. Patrick C. Hsieh is a fellowship-trained spine surgeon, with expertise in spine tumors, spinal deformity, minimally invasive surgery, and other complex spinal procedures.  He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California Los Angeles and his medical degree from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine.  He was a distinguished scholar at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 1998 and he performed research in the field of neuro-genetics at the National Institute of Health.  He subsequently completed his surgical internship and neurosurgery residency at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center in Chicago.  While at Northwestern, he also received specialized training in spinal deformity surgery and advanced minimal invasive spine surgery.  Dr. Hsieh then completed an additional spine instructorship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, specializing in spinal oncology and complex spinal reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Hsieh provides care to patients with all neurosurgical problems, but his primary clinical interests are in minimal invasive spine surgery, spinal oncology, en bloc spondylectomy, spinal deformity surgery, and complex spinal reconstructive surgery.  He is particularly interested in the application of innovative techniques and technology for the treatment spinal diseases, including minimal invasive spinal procedures, artificial disc replacement, and other motion preservation surgeries.  His research focuses on outcome studies of spinal oncology surgery, spinal deformity surgery, and minimal invasive spine procedures.  His other research endeavors include studies on spinal biomechanics and the application of osteobiologics and nanoparticles for spine reconstructions.
