State Context

Scoliosis Surgery (Spinal Fusion) in Oregon: What to Know

Scoliosis surgery in Oregon, particularly spinal fusion, is concentrated in Portland. OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital offers a multidisciplinary clinic with neurosurgery and orthopaedics specialists, and is one of two facilities with the low-radiation EOS Imaging System. Shriners Children's Portland also performs these surgeries, with a Medford clinic supporting southern Oregon families. Providence Oregon Spine Center provides care across four hospitals, including Providence Portland and Providence Medford Medical Centers, with board-certified neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons.

For potentially lower costs, consider ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) like Oregon Surgical Institute, which perform minimally invasive outpatient spinal fusions. These offer advantages like faster recovery compared to traditional hospitals. Patients may also find telemedicine consultations useful for out-of-town care in Portland. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
