Connecting Patients with
Top Doctors in ADR and Arthroplasty

Dr. Lanman, founder and creator of the ADR Spine Top Doctors program, is Hollywood’s go-to Spinal Neurosurgeon, with a legacy treating many A-list film and TV talent, legendary musicians, other expert luminaries, and top C-suite executives. His 30-year track record has seen many patients travel the globe to seek out his sophisticated professional care.

As a leading innovator in medicine, a media educator and contributor, Dr. Lanman has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on topics relating to neurological conditions. He has presented a myriad of papers at national and regional medical society meetings, and he is often sought out as the principal investigator for various clinical trials on motion preserving surgeries.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Neurological Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a Fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (FAANS), Dr. Lanman earned his M.D. at Chicago’s Northwestern University in 1983 with top honors, and went on to complete his residency in Neurological Surgery at University of California at Los Angeles in 1989. He has since led his own spinal neurosurgery practice in the heart of Beverly Hills, which is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, UCLA Medical Center and Surgery Center of Beverly Hills.

Dr. Lanman remains at the forefront of technological advancement, particularly in the development of artificial disc replacement devices, most recently the Prestige LP and M6, and Restorative Motion Surgery™. He has also remained an associate clinical professor at UCLA for the past 20 years.

Dr. Lanman’s firsthand experience undergoing eleven spine surgeries – four cervical, seven lumbar – fuels his devotion for helping others to live pain-free with restored mobility. Dr. Lanman lives and breathes his proprietary 4D Health™ Process, changing his own approach to holistic health, and seeks to help patients rethink their own.

When recommending treatment, Dr. Todd H. Lanman takes a holistic approach, ensuring one’s age, daily lifestyle, nutrition, hormone status, physical exercise routine, and of course spine and joint health are considered, to present a more comprehensive picture of one’s health from a four-dimensional perspective.

His innovative philosophy goes well beyond the standard three-dimensional approach to incorporate all facets of one’s daily livelihood to map out an entire preventative and forward-thinking approach to aging management to ensure all of his patients live an active, healthy and pain-free life as they continue to age.

Dr. Jazini’s drive to be a spine surgeon stems from a personal experience following a car accident in which his brother sustained multiple injuries, including spinal fractures and scoliosis. This traumatic event motivated Dr. Jazini to dedicate his life to improving the field of spine care and providing patients with the solutions they deserve. He treats patients as his own family and guides them to make decisions that will restore their quality of life.

With dual training in orthopedic spine surgery and neurosurgery from leading medical institutions, his first recommendation most times is a non-surgical approach. In fact, 90% of his patients improve their quality of life without surgery. He has an innovative approach to non-operative treatment which includes natural regenerative medicine (stem cell therapy and PRP) to naturally use the patient’s own body to heal itself.

Dr. Jazini’s reputation for providing the most customized treatment options has proven to elevate his patient outcomes. He was the first in the nation and some instances, the world to perform advanced surgical techniques in cervical and lumbar disc replacement, augmented reality (AR) spine surgery, and robotic spine surgery. He performs these advanced surgeries using modern technology which improves operative control and patient safety and makes surgery less invasive for patients.

His care for his patients does not end in the operating room. Through research and the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), Dr. Jazini has instituted a national spine surgery recovery protocol. This is a breakthrough that reduces hospital stays, minimizes the need for post-surgical medication, and has led to faster and safer recovery — getting patients back to their active lives.

Dr. Jazini currently serves on the National Research Advisory Board and the Surgeon Leader Group for HCA Healthcare, the largest hospital system in the United States. He also served as an assistant professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine and travels internationally to present research and teach other surgeons.

Dr. Schuler is named among America’s Top 50 Spine Surgeons and serves as the Chairman of the National Spine Health Foundation’s Medical and Scientific Board.

Dr. Schuler’s passion for his patients’ recovery is fueled by his experience as a patient. Watch Dr. Schuler’s journey as he went from debilitating neck and arm symptoms back to an active life and physically demanding career thanks to the modern marvels of hybrid spine surgery.

One of Dr. Schuler’s greatest passions is improving lives! In 1992 he founded VSI (Virginia Spine Institute) to create a center of exceptional healthcare. This was necessary since the field of spine surgery was in its infancy. Today, his powerful vision has resulted in an internationally renowned institute. Through his leadership and medical innovations, Dr. Schuler and his interdisciplinary team have revolutionized spinal healthcare, thus transforming the lives of millions worldwide.

Dr. Schuler is double-board certified and trained in neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery of the spine. He is a recognized international leader in the treatment of neck and lower back conditions. Dr. Schuler is noted among the 100 best spine surgeons and specialists in America. US News and World Report named him among the top 1% of physicians in his specialty nationwide. He serves as President of the National Spine Health Foundation, and Chairman of its Medical and Scientific Board. His work with this national non-profit organization enables him to collaborate with his peers, the top spinal surgeons in the nation, to educate the world as to the most effective treatments in modern spinal healthcare.

Not only is he a world-class surgeon, but Dr. Schuler has also been on the receiving end of spinal surgery. He suffered from severe neck pain, three-disc herniations, and nerve compression which resulted in him undergoing a cervical hybrid surgery. Interestingly, Dr. Schuler performed the first hybrid multilevel cervical artificial disc replacement and spinal fusion in the Nation only a few months prior to his own surgery. His recovery further instilled in him greater empathy for his patients’ emotional and physical needs.
