About me
Dr. Christina H. Wright is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon who specializes in spinal disorders including degenerative spine conditions, spine trauma, tumors and adult deformity. Dr. Wright is passionate about working in collaboration with her patients to determine the best surgical and nonsurgical solutions that align with their needs and goals. She is trained in minimally invasive techniques, open complex deformity procedures, motion preservation and revision procedures, and the use of innovative techniques such as image guidance technologies.
