One of only 22 spine surgeons in the US to receive the prestigious Spine Surgeon Leadership Award from Becker's Spine Review.

Los Angeles, California — Southern California Neurosurgeon Burak Ozgur, MD — one of the founders of ONE® Brain & Spine Center® and widely recognized as a leader in minimally invasive spine surgery — has received the 2016 Spine Surgeon Leadership Award.

Out of numerous nominations, Dr. Ozgur is one of only 22 spine surgeons in the U.S. to win this prestigious award. He serves as Director of ONE® Brain & Spine Center® and Chief of Service for the Spinal Neurological Department at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach.
