Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Neurosurgery

Microdiscectomy / minimally invasive discectomy

When a disc herniates, the jelly-like center moves out of place and can press on nearby nerves causing pain. Often, the entire disc does not need to be removed, only the portion causing pain. This can often be done though minimally invasive procedures which reduce pain, and healing time.
