Brief Intro

Dr. Thalgott is fellowship trained in general spinal surgery, adult reconstructive spinal surgery, and spinal trauma and deformity surgery. Dr. Thalgott has been practicing medicine in Las Vegas since 1986. He developed a gasless endoscopic approach to the lumbar spine which allows for reliable access to the anterior column up to L2.
