Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons

What Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons does

Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons, PLLC is a physician-owned private neurosurgical and orthopedic spine practice headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, established in 1999 by nationally-acclaimed neurosurgeon Dr. Teck Mun Soo. The practice delivers comprehensive surgical care for spine and brain conditions, including minimally invasive spine surgery (TLIF, microdecompression, endoscopic-assisted procedures), neuroendovascular interventions, and minimally invasive brain tumor resection, performing over 2,000 procedures per year across four Southeast Michigan clinic locations in Novi, Southfield, Warren, and Rochester. Seven fellowship-trained surgeons cover subspecialties including cerebrovascular, skull base, neuroendovascular intervention, neuro-oncology, and complex spine, supported by a catalog of 50+ surgical procedures and complementary non-surgical pain management treatments.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees billed to commercial insurers (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, AARP), Medicare/Medicaid, HMO plans, Priority Health, and workers' compensation and auto accident claims. Go-to-market is referral-driven, supported by an extensive online patient education library, published patient testimonials, Healow online booking, and Google Meet-enabled telehealth visits. Surgical procedures are performed under hospital privileges at Ascension Providence (Southfield, Novi, Rochester), Ascension Macomb-Oakland (Warren), and Beaumont Health (Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, Troy), with several surgeons holding departmental leadership roles — including Chief of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery Residency Program Director, and Medical Director of Stroke Service — and clinical faculty appointments at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.
