Dr. Spitz earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia, graduating Summa Cum Laude. He completed his neurosurgical residency at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, and subsequently served as a post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, where he contributed to the development of spine trauma models for the Department of Defense. He then completed a complex spine fellowship at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, gaining advanced training in challenging spinal cases, before returning to Georgetown University Hospital as Associate Professor of Neurosurgery. He later joined Southeastern Neurosurgical Specialists and currently serves as the director of neurosurgery for Northside Hospital.
The practice’s primary clinical focus is minimally invasive spine surgery. This surgical approach uses small incisions and tubular dilators to minimize muscle damage and reduce disruption to surrounding tissue during procedures, resulting in shorter recovery periods compared to traditional open surgery methods. Specialized instruments and implants are designed specifically for delivery through these less invasive surgical openings, allowing the surgeon to address spinal pathology while limiting post-operative trauma.
Dr. Spitz received Castle Connolly Top Doctors recognition in the Atlanta area for 2026, a designation based on peer nomination and clinical review, reflecting regional standing within the neurosurgical specialty community.
