At CalSpine MD, we believe those facing spine-related challenges deserve access to exceptional, patient-centered care. Led by renowned spine surgeon Dr. Hieu Ball, our practice specializes in advanced, minimally invasive procedures backed by the latest medical research.
Dr. Ball is deeply committed to providing personalized care that addresses your unique needs, always focusing on achieving the best possible outcomes with the least disruption to your life.
Dr. Hieu Ball is a double fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon who completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Harvard Medical School. He has been in practice for 20 years in Northern California.
In this exciting time of technological advances in spine surgery, Dr. Hieu Ball devotes his practice to the critical evaluation of the most current treatment options for neck, mid-back, and low-back problems. His patient-centered, individualized approach to care helps him achieve accurate diagnoses and logical treatment plans that optimize spinal health outcomes for his patients.
For years, I did everything I could to avoid spine surgery because it scared me. After having my surgery by Dr. Ball, I now wish I had had it years before. We’ve had great success, and now I can go on with my life that before surgery was so limited. Everyone from his office staff to Dr. Ball’s physician assistant, Shrada, and the hospital was the best experience I’ve ever had for a surgery.
Two discs were replaced and I feel amazing. Three other surgeons said they couldn't do it or didn't think it would help, but Dr. Ball is a genius for spine surgery. I thought my future was grim and I'd be using a walker for the rest of my life, but not anymore.
I came here with a bulging disc and severe sciatic pain, hoping to find relief after months of pain in my lower back and shooting pain down my leg. I had surgery done by Dr. Ball, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life. I haven’t felt this good in years! I’m back in the gym and golfing again after a few short months with absolutely no issues at all, and I couldn’t be any happier. I’m very thankful to Dr. Ball and his team for what they did for me.
