Dr. Timothy Spencer Joins Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery


Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery and its patients are very fortunate that Dr. Spencer has chosen to become part of the practice.  Dr. Spencer has obtained privileges at St. Mary's of Michigan Hospital in Saginaw and Sheridan Community Hospital in the Grand Rapids area.

Dr. Spencer offers general neurosurgical care, including: complex spinal surgery, malformations, tumors, dislocations, fractures, degenerative conditions, etc.  Dr. Spencer employs a comprehensive approach to surgical treatment, from minimally to maximally invasive surgical treatments.

Dr. Spencer's guiding philosophy is to always reserve invasive procedures as a last resort, but when they become necessary, to apply the procedure that is most suited for that patient’s specific problem in order to enhance outcome.

Prior to relocating his practice to Michigan, Dr. Spencer served as Chief of Neurosurgery - Brooke Army Medical Center, Texas.
