One team, from diagnosis to recovery.

Next Era Spine Care started with a simple frustration: too many Valley patients were being bounced between a primary doctor, an imaging center, and a surgeon's waiting list before anyone actually built them a plan. Three, four, five appointments just to hear “let's see.”

So we built the opposite. One team that reads your own imaging in the room with you, on the first visit, and tells you plainly what your options actually are — including the ones that aren't surgery.

We practice as HonorHealth in collaboration with Next Era Spine Care — a direct partnership, not a referral relationship. That means our patients get Next Era's dedicated, surgery-last spine approach alongside HonorHealth's hospitals, imaging, and outpatient surgery centers, all under one scheduling line and one medical record. Our surgeons practice within HonorHealth's Neuroscience service line, and the practice is led by Dr. Robert Waldrop — a longstanding leader of spinal surgery at HonorHealth.

Our mission is to get every patient a real diagnosis and a real plan before they leave their first appointment, and to be the practice other physicians trust enough to send their own patients to.
