DFW Spine Center

What DFW Spine Center does

DFW Spine Center (legal name DFW Center for Spinal Disorders) is a privately held, for-profit spine surgery medical practice founded in 2009 and headquartered at 6900 Harris Pkwy, Suite 310, Fort Worth, Texas. The firm operates a single clinical location serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas, Arlington, Mansfield, Burleson, and surrounding areas, and dispatches care through patient education content (blog, video library), social channels (Facebook, YouTube), a Google Business Profile, and direct appointment requests (phone and the healow online appointment platform).

The practice's core service line is comprehensive spine care spanning conservative management through surgical intervention. Surgical offerings concentrate on minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) using small incisions, retractors, operating microscopy, computer-assisted guidance, and real-time X-ray, together with motion-preservation surgery using FDA-approved Centinel Spine ProDisc devices: ProDisc C and ProDisc C SK cervical disc replacement, ProDisc C Vivo keel-less cervical replacement, and ProDisc L lumbar disc replacement (the only U.S. FDA-approved TDR system indicated for two-level lumbar use). Treatments cover fifteen-plus spinal conditions including herniated/bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, whiplash, myelopathy, and pinched nerves. The practice is also a participating site in the Synergy Disc multicenter prospective clinical trial for two-level cervical disc replacement.

Revenue is generated through professional services — insurance reimbursements and patient payments for spinal evaluation, imaging, conservative treatment, and surgery — with pricing determined by procedure and coverage rather than posted publicly. The care team comprises two physicians (Dr. Jason C. Tinley, MD, lead spine specialist; Dr. Brian Danshaw, DO) and one physician assistant (Austyn Pewitt, PA-C). Headcount is reported in the 11–50 band. There is no public funding, no parent organization, and no disclosed revenue.

Others

• Centinel Spine: Manufacturer of the ProDisc-C, ProDisc-L, ProDisc C Vivo, and ProDisc C SK platforms that anchor DFW Center's clinical differentiation. Not a direct competitor, but a critical enabling/strategic partner whose product decisions shape the practice's positioning.
• Medtronic Spine: Global spine-device leader (Mazor, Prestige LP, Bryan cervical disc, etc.) whose disc replacement portfolio overlaps with ProDisc. While Medtronic is a device manufacturer, its commercial reach and trial sites create indirect competitive pressure on independent specialty spine practices.
• Synergy Spine Solutions: Developer of the Synergy Disc currently in a multicenter 2-level cervical TDR trial at DFW Center. Relationship is a clinical-trial partner but the company is an indirect peer in the sense that trial-site practices like DFW Center are its economic channels to market.

Broad incumbents

• Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) – Spine: Nation-leading orthopedic specialty hospital with a dedicated spine service that performs disc replacement and minimally invasive procedures; not a direct local competitor but overlaps directly on spine surgery capability and patient referrals.
• Cleveland Clinic – Spine Center: National health-system spine program that delivers the same disc replacement and minimally invasive spine surgery procedures as DFW Center, competing for complex and self-pay cases across wider geographies.
