Surgery Locations

Modern Spine offers surgery at multiple locations to meet the individual care needs of patients.

Whenever possible, we favor outpatient surgery because it is generally less expensive, has faster recovery times, and allows patients to return home quickly  in most cases.  While outpatient surgery on the spine may sound unsual, minimally invasive techniques allow spinal surgery to be performed with less blood loss and less overall risk compared to traditional techniques.  Sometimes, the health of a patient or the complexity of the surgery performed requires inpatient care.  Knowing where to perform your surgery safely and discussing options with you is our priority in selecting the location of your operation.

Inpatient and Outpatient Surgery

Modern Spine performs both inpatient and outpatient surgery at Legacy Mt. Hood Medical Center in Gresham, Oregon on the east side of Portland.  Dr. Yam has operated at that facility since December 2021.  As a whole, the staff at the facility know the protocols and have the expertise to provide excellent care in the operating room and after surgery in recovery.
