Why did we choose Todd H. Lanman as one of our Top Doctors?
Dr. Todd Lanman brings a unique perspective to spine surgery that’s both groundbreaking and deeply personal. With over 30 years of experience, he’s not just performed thousands of surgeries—he’s actually helped shape the entire field of motion preservation spine care. As a principal investigator for FDA trials that brought artificial disc replacements like the Prestige LP and M6-C to patients, Dr. Lanman has been instrumental in giving people alternatives to spinal fusion that let them keep their natural movement. What makes his expertise even more meaningful is that he’s been on the other side of the operating table himself, having undergone multiple spine surgeries. This personal experience gives him an understanding of what patients go through that most surgeons simply can’t match, he knows firsthand the fear, the pain, and the hope that comes with spine problems.
Patients from around the world, including celebrities and executives, seek out Dr. Lanman not just for his technical brilliance, but for his genuine empathy and innovative approach to care. His “4D Health Process” looks at the whole person, their lifestyle, goals, and dreams, rather than just focusing on the problem area. As both a Diplomate of the American Board of Neurological Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, his credentials speak for themselves, but it’s his passion for helping people avoid fusion surgery and maintain their active lifestyles that truly sets him apart. He’s a vocal advocate for his patients, always pushing for treatments that preserve motion and quality of life, because he understands better than anyone how precious those things are.
