Meet Jason E. Garber, MD, FAANS, FACS
Board-certified neurosurgeon at Las Vegas Neurosurgical Institute, treating complex spine and brain conditions in Las Vegas for more than 20 years.
Experience across the whole spine
Dr. Garber's neurosurgical training covered degenerative and traumatic problems of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine, using front, back and side approaches. He then completed a fellowship in complex spine reconstruction at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
That range matters when you're deciding on surgery. A surgeon who performs only one kind of operation tends to recommend it. Dr. Garber performs disc replacement, fusion and minimally invasive procedures, so his advice is about what fits your spine.
He's known among patients for taking a conservative approach: surgery when there's a clear reason for it, and plenty of time spent explaining the options.

In their words
“Dr Garber has done all of my surgeries, including my fusion lumbar back surgery. I would never allow any other dr in the state of NV to touch my back other than Dr Garber. He has great bedside behavior with me. The best surgeon ever!!!”
“My family had a great experience with Dr Garber, first my husband and now my son. He is very professional and knowledgeable. My husband had back surgery with him (fusion L4-S1). Dr Garber was very clear as the beginning, told us everything that was going on and what to expect. I fully recommend him.”
“I have been a patient with Dr. Garber since a car accident in 2007. He has managed my shunt, my fusions, and my occipital nerve stimulator. He is the only neurosurgeon I will go to in Las Vegas. He is attentive, professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable in the field for my multiple medical issues. His staff is simply awesome. Dustin, the PA, and Lise (the surgery scheduler) in particular have helped me beyond measure. I have had ease getting appointments scheduled, in-depth care, and surgery scheduled amazingly fast. Dr. Garber is a doctor I trust completely with my health and my life. I have no hesitation recommending Dr. Garber for all neurosurgical care. Before my last back fusion I was on serious pain meds and needed a walker. He gave me back a quality of life I couldn't dream of. The occipital nerve stimulator for migraines treatment was experimental when he put it in. 8 years later, I have reduced the frequency and severity of my migraines. He is simply the best medical choice.”
