Spine Institute of San Diego

What Spine Institute of San Diego does

Spine Institute of San Diego, operating under the legal name Spine and Brain Institute of San Diego, is a private, single-location medical practice headquartered at 6719 Alvarado Road, Suite 308, San Diego, California. The practice employs 1-10 staff and is clinically led by five board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons: Dr. Ramin Raiszadeh, Dr. Paul D. Kim, Dr. Sunil Jeswani, Dr. Sabareesh Natarajan, and Dr. Evan Nigh. The practice treats patients with spinal ailments including disc herniation (cervical and lumbar), degenerative conditions (cervical stenosis, lumbar stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis), scoliosis, kyphosis, and spinal sprains and fractures, serving the San Diego metropolitan area on a direct-to-consumer basis.

The practice delivers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning non-surgical treatments and surgical interventions, including cervical and lumbar disc replacement, minimally invasive surgery (TLIF, ALIF, spinal fusion), microdiscectomy, laminectomy, foraminotomy, spinal fusion, and robotic spine surgery using the Globus Robot platform. The Globus Robot represents the most advanced technical component of the practice, marketed for enhanced surgical precision; the underlying technology is a third-party robotic-assisted surgical system rather than a proprietary platform. Patient education and acquisition is supported through a multi-channel program including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, a blog, and an extensive library of case studies and patient testimonials.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model, generating income through consultations, diagnostic services, non-surgical treatments, and surgical procedures billed via a combination of insurance reimbursements and patient self-pay. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, varying by procedure complexity and insurance coverage. Distribution is exclusively through direct clinic services at the San Diego office, with patient intake via phone (619-265-7912), website appointment requests, and physician referrals. The practice has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or partnerships.
