Mission Statement

Reuben Spine Specialists Mission is to lead and provide expert spine care: To respect, improve and preserve the joy of lifelong health.

Our Vision is to bring the best in medical education and specialized surgical training to the treatment of spine disorders for the people of the Lowcountry. We are 100% dedicated to the practice of spine. Our team delivers extraordinary patient care and provides the best possible outcomes with the least impact on the lives of our patients. Our practitioners innovate breakthrough procedures that are shaping the future of spine health.

Our goal, to develop the best protocol to address each patient’s needs, begins with state of the art diagnostic assessments and comprehensive evaluations to determine the right timing and treatment plan. In many cases, surgery is not the best solution and we may consider home remedies, physical therapy, medication, epidural steroid injections and alternate treatments.

Dr. Reuben, Chairman of Reuben Spine Specialists, invests completely in every patient. He is firmly dedicated to giving whatever time it takes to communicate and provide information to help patients make a life decision.

We participate in the national spine community. Our extensive affiliations with professional organizations support our continuation and incorporation of the most advanced and effective techniques and technology.

At Reuben Spine Specialists, patients and their families come first. We weave a thread of caring throughout our Practice. We ask ourselves, "Do we make a difference in our patient’s lives…Everyday?"
