From Our Authors:

"I enjoy writing articles for Veritas because it challenges me to take complex subjects like spinal anatomy, problematic conditions of the spine, and treatment options and explain them in a way that everyone can understand. As a spine surgeon, that is what I do every day, one patient at a time. Veritas, however, gives me the potential to reach and educate millions of people, all at the same time."

- Dr. David DeWitt, MD

From Our Authors:

"In a time where there is unlimited access to information on the internet, a lot of which is incorrect or falsely interpreted, I enjoy the opportunity to put truthful information and helpful tips to not only my patients but anyone else who finds the articles and blogs helpful on Spine-health.com. There are a lot of Dr. Googles out there and they deserve honest and concise information."

- Dr. Rob D. Dickerman, DO, PhD

Because I interact with patients every day, I'm able to anticipate readers' questions and concerns."

- Dr. Kathee de Falla, PharmD

From Our Authors:

"With most doctor visits lasting 30 minutes or less, it's important for patients to know about their condition before seeing their surgeon and to learn more when they go home.
