Excellence in Spine Care Since 2004

Our physician-owned Baton Rouge hospital was founded in 2004 by neurosurgeon Dr. Thomas B. Flynn and a distinguished team of spine specialists with a singular mission: to create a facility devoted exclusively to spine care.

Thoughtfully designed for the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of spine-related conditions, The Spine Hospital has become one of the nation’s leading centers for both surgical and non-surgical spine treatment. Our five-star hospital brings nationally recognized physicians, advanced imaging and minimally invasive treatment options together under one roof.
