The SRS accomplishes this through education, research, advocacy and ethical practice. The European SRS meeting draws attendees from all over the world.
Dr. Thomas Lyons, founding member of the Neuroscience Group noted, “Dr. Bhattacharjee was involved in research studies related to intricate spine surgeries during his fellowship at the University of Virginia-in Spinal Deformity and Reconstructive Surgery in 2004. We are pleased to have a surgeon with his training and research experience in our community so that we can provide high-quality, compassionate care for adults and pediatric patients with spinal deformities and spinal tumors.”
