Erik Olsson, MD, is an orthopedic spine surgeon who became a doctor because he wanted to help people return to healthy, active lifestyles. “I enjoy taking care of patients with simple and complex cervical spine issues and seeing them regain function that is often lost due to compression of nerves and/or the spinal cord,” says Dr. Olsson. “Spine surgery is the most complex surgery being performed at Pardee, and private donations can help support technology to make these procedures safer and less invasive.”
