New Jersey Spine and Orthopedic

What New Jersey Spine and Orthopedic does

New Jersey Spine and Orthopedic (legal name: NJ Spine & Orthopedic) is a privately-held, physician-owned multi-state medical practice specializing in minimally invasive spine and orthopedic surgery. Founded around 1996 by Dr. Scott Katzman following his board certification in orthopedic surgery, the practice has expanded to 27+ office locations across four states (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida) and operates three owned ambulatory surgery centers (Advanced Ambulatory Surgery Center, West Orange Surgery Center, and Ambulatory Surgery Center of Bala Cynwyd), with inpatient overflow routed through a partnership with Hudson Regional Hospital. The clinical team includes board-certified orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, pain management physicians, and physician assistants, several of whom have personally developed and teach their own surgical techniques; one team member, Dr. Johnson Ho, holds a patent on neuromodulation technology targeting cortical and deep brain structures.

The practice's core offering is minimally invasive spine surgery performed through incisions smaller than a postage stamp using laser and endoscopic approaches, with procedure-specific techniques including TLIF, XLIF, ACDF, cervical disc replacement (including the M6-C artificial cervical disc), microdiscectomy, laminoforaminotomy, and endoscopic discectomy. Non-surgical and regenerative offerings — epidural steroid injections, spinal cord stimulation, stem cell therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic coordination — expand the funnel beyond surgical candidates. A digital patient-intake layer (Treatment Finder, Condition Checker, Pain Assessment, Free MRI Review, Candidacy Verification) plus a Virtual Second Opinion service drive top-of-funnel demand and route patients to consultations; concierge patient advocates coordinate appointments, medical records, travel, and accommodations for out-of-area and international patients.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and sales-led, generating revenue primarily from surgical procedures, consultations, and diagnostic services performed in owned ASCs and partnered facilities. The practice is out-of-network with all payors; it accepts PPO plans and Workers' Compensation cases but does not accept HMO, EPO, Medicare, or Medicaid plans, which positions pricing as quote-based and self-pay friendly. Marketing runs through search-driven educational content, the interactive website tools, patient testimonials, phone contact centers, and the virtual second opinion channel, targeting patients with chronic neck and back pain, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, failed prior surgeries, and general orthopedic injuries across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and internationally.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) A minimally invasive lumbar spine fusion that stabilizes the vertebra by approaching the disc from the posterior, removing damaged disc material, and fusing the vertebrae using a bone graft.
• XLIF (Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion) A lateral-approach lumbar interbody fusion that accesses the spine from the side, minimizing muscle disruption compared to traditional posterior approaches.
• 360° Anterior and Posterior Lumbar Fusion A combined anterior and posterior approach to spinal fusion using incisions in both the lower back and abdominal region, providing stability while minimizing muscle trauma.
• ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion) A surgical procedure that removes a damaged or herniated cervical disc and inserts a bone graft to fuse adjacent vertebrae, providing neck stability and pain relief.
• Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery A minimally invasive procedure that replaces a damaged cervical disc with an artificial disc device while maintaining natural mobility of the neck.
• M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement Implantation of an FDA-approved artificial cervical disc that replicates the spine's natural movement, preserving motion as an alternative to cervical spinal fusion.
• Laser Spine Surgery A minimally invasive surgical procedure using focused light beams to make precise incisions with less trauma and pain than traditional open surgery, primarily used for herniated and bulging discs.
• Endoscopic Discectomy A minimally invasive spinal surgery using a laser and endoscope to create a small opening for removal of bulging disc tissue, providing relief from chronic back or neck pain.
• Laminoforaminotomy A minimally invasive technique creating a small incision to perform laminectomy and foraminotomy, treating spinal stenosis by relieving pressure on nerves with less pain and blood loss.
• Microdiscectomy A minimally invasive spinal surgery that removes compression from nerves through a small incision using a camera to view and access damaged material, treating pain and numbness.
• Epidural Steroid Injections A non-surgical treatment involving injection of local anesthetic and steroid medication into the epidural space to relieve lower lumbar back pain and sciatica, often used with physical rehabilitation.
• Stem Cell Therapy Regenerative medicine treatment using stem cells to help heal the body, intended to potentially avoid surgical intervention for conditions caused by aging or injury.
• Spinal Cord Stimulation An implanted device that uses electrical pulses to disrupt pain signals traveling from the body to the brain, interfering with neurotransmitter signals to provide pain relief.
• Virtual Second Opinion Service A remote consultation service providing comprehensive evaluations from NJSO spine and orthopedic specialists, enabling patients who live far from medical centers to receive expert opinions on diagnosis and treatment options.
• Free MRI Review A complimentary expert review service allowing patients who already have an MRI scan to receive evaluation from NJ Spine and Orthopedic doctors.

Broad incumbents

• Hospital for Special Surgery: HSS is the largest U.S. orthopedic specialty hospital and research institution, performing a high volume of spine and joint surgery with national and international patient draw. It competes with NJSO for premium self-pay and international cases but at vastly greater scale and academic depth.
• Hoag Orthopedic Institute: Hoag Orthopedic Institute is a specialty orthopedic hospital system in California with affiliated surgery centers. It is a broader incumbent in the specialty-orthopedic space, overlapping on spine and joint replacement but operating as a hospital-based model rather than independent ASC practice.

Direct peers

• Texas Back Institute: Texas Back Institute is a multi-surgeon spine specialty practice and research center in Texas performing minimally invasive and complex spine surgery. It is directly comparable in spine-only focus, surgical depth, and brand-as-destination positioning, though regional rather than overlapping.
• Atlantic Spine Center: Atlantic Spine Center is a New Jersey-based spine specialty practice offering minimally invasive spine surgery, laser spine procedures, and interventional pain management. It competes head-to-head with NJ Spine & Orthopedic in the same NJ geography and same sub-specialty focus.
• The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics: The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics is a large multi-state orthopedic and spine physician group operating across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. It shares NJSO's model of consolidating independent orthopedic practices into a unified multi-site platform with surgery center affiliations.
• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: Rothman is a large multi-specialty orthopedic and spine group operating across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Florida with ambulatory surgery centers and urgent care. It directly overlaps NJ Spine & Orthopedic in geography, service mix (spine + general orthopedics), and the multi-state ASC-led model.
• Virginia Spine Institute: Virginia Spine Institute is a multi-physician spine specialty practice with integrated physical therapy and surgery services in the Mid-Atlantic. Comparable to NJSO in spine-only clinical focus, surgeon reputation model, and DTC patient acquisition approach.
• DISC Sports & Spine Center: DISC is a multi-location California-based minimally invasive spine and orthopedic practice with ambulatory surgery centers and a sports medicine focus. It is comparable in clinical positioning (MISS, ASC ownership, surgeon-led) but operates in a different regional market.

Emerging players

• Inspired Spine: Inspired Spine is a smaller multi-state minimally invasive spine practice offering laser and endoscopic spine surgery with ASC partnerships. It is comparable in clinical approach and DTC positioning but has a more limited footprint and brand.

Regional players

• Sonoran Spine Center: Sonoran Spine Center is a multi-physician spine specialty practice in Phoenix, Arizona, where NJSO surgeon Dr. Douglas Slaughter previously practiced. It is a direct clinical peer in minimally invasive and reconstructive spine surgery but operates exclusively in the Arizona market.
