Additionally, The Spine Hospital of Louisiana is consistently rated a <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/the-spine-hospital-of-louisiana-leading-the-way-in-new-cms-quality-ratings\/\">FIVE-STAR hospital<\/a> by the federal government, and is the ONLY hospital in the state to receive five stars in spinal fusion surgery care from Healthgrades.com.\u00a0 Add that to a growing list of accolades earned by The Spine Hospital in just the past 12 months, including the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/spine-hospital-louisiana-earns-prestigious-guardian-excellence-award\/\"><em>Guardian of Excellence Award<\/em> <\/a>for achieving the 95th percentile of all hospitals nationwide in federal patient satisfaction scores, and being named <em>Hospital of the Year<\/em> in both 2015 and 2016 by the Louisiana Nurses Foundation. These profound honors are a testament to the level of neurosurgical care available RIGHT HERE in Baton Rouge.<br \/>\nAccording to Healthgrades data, orthopedic and spine surgery patients treated at a five-star facility are 51 to 67 percent less likely to experience common post-operative complications, such as hospital-acquired infection (HAI), deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), joint dislocation, surgical implant malfunction and surgical site infection, depending on the procedure performed. Similarly, patients treated at a one-star hospital are 2 to 3 times more likely to experience post-operative complications.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4753\" src=\"https:\/\/shola.jcwcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Small_Hospital_Exterior.jpg\" alt=\"Spine Hospital of Louisiana\" width=\"100%\" \/><br \/>\nChoose your healthcare provider wisely!<br \/>\nThe Spine Hospital of Louisiana is proud to be a physician-owned facility, located within The NeuroMedical Center campus.\u00a0 In its short 12 year history, The Spine Hospital of Louisiana has emerged as Louisiana\u2019s premier destination for care of the spine. The Spine Hospital of Louisiana is the Gulf Coast\u2019s only provider of <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/neuroradiology-baton-rouge-nmc\/\">LASER spine surgery<\/a>. Laser spine surgery offers tremendous benefits for patients allowing for smaller incisions and faster recovery time. The procedure takes approximately one hour, and most patients are able to go home the same day.<br \/>\nThe Spine Hospital of Louisiana employs <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/medical-staff-neurosurgery\/\">ALL TEN operating neurosurgeons<\/a> in the Greater Baton Rouge area, two of the area\u2019s most respected orthopaedic spine surgeons,<a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/medical-staff-pain-management\/\"> five pain medicine specialists<\/a>, as well as the South\u2019s largest team of board certified <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/medical-staff-neurology\/\">neurologists<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/medical-staff-neuropsychology\/\">neuropsychologists<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nmcc.jcwcreative.com\/medical-staff-neuroradiology\/\">neuroradiologists<\/a>, who not only practice in the Baton Rouge area\u2026 they LIVE here too!

Here are a few important things you should always consider before selecting a facility for your surgical procedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be wary of hospitals which allow surgeons from other cities, even other states who arrive, operate and leave. This poses a <u>significant risk<\/u> to the patient, should they have any post-operative complications that evening or in the coming days.<\/li>\n<li>The same holds true for sending your clients out of state. Should an unforeseen complication arise, the patient deserves the security of trusting that their physician will be readily available to provide immediate intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For these reasons above, the Baton Rouge medical community has established a standard for anesthesia and surgeons being available within 30 minutes.<br \/>\n\u201cA decade of unbiased data speaks for itself&#8211; successful patient experiences and clinical outcomes is in our DNA\u201d said Robert D. Blair, Chief Executive Officer of The Spine Hospital of Louisiana. \u201cEveryone in our organization, from our physicians, to our nurses, to our front desk clerks dedicate significant time and resources toward providing the very best level of care for our patients. We are here for our patients before surgery, after surgery, and for the months and years that follow.\u201d<br \/>\nTrust The Spine Hospital of Louisiana to serve you and your loved ones with experience, quality and award-winning satisfaction.]]&gt;\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;![CDATA[ Have you heard the great news?\u00a0 The Spine Hospital of Louisiana is now among the nation\u2019s elite when it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,8,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-spine-hospital-news","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v15.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Elite Neurosurgical Care at The NeuroMedical Center | Baton Rouge LA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Trust Louisiana&#039;s leader in laser, minimally invasive and complex spine surgery to provide experience, quality and award-winning patient satisfaction.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Elite Neurosurgical Care at The NeuroMedical Center | Baton Rouge LA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Trust Louisiana&#039;s leader in laser, minimally invasive and complex spine surgery to provide experience, quality and award-winning patient satisfaction.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/shola.jcwcreative.com\/?p=4778\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Spine Hospital Of Louisiana\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-02-25T16:11:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/shola.jcwcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BRBRSpineHospitalofLA_140_COLOR.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\">\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/shola.jcwcreative.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/shola.jcwcreative.com\/\",\"name\":\"The Spine Hospital Of Louisiana\",\"description\":\"The South&#039;s Leader in Spine Surgery &amp;
