Michael Gleiber, MD, is the founding partner, president, surgeon-in-chief and chief medical officer of his spine surgery practice Michael A. Gleiber, MD, PA, which has locations in Jupiter and Boca Raton, Fla. Dr. Gleiber's practice specializes solely in injuries and diseases of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.
Dr. Gleiber earned his medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. Following medical school, he completed internship in general surgery and residency at Columbia University in New York City as well as a fellowship in neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery.
"Minimally invasive surgery is where spine surgery is headed. The spine community as a whole is becoming more and more accustomed to performing less invasive surgical procedures, whether through arthroscopic technology or by operating through a tube," Dr. Gleiber said. "In the next 10 years, I see almost all of spine surgery being done in a minimally invasive fashion. There is plenty of opportunity for training through organizations like the North American Spine Society or implant companies who provide direct cadaver lab workshops where these procedures are promulgated."
