Christopher L. Hamill, MD, MHA

Spine Surgery

I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specialized in the diagnosis, treatment and surgery for a wide variety of pediatric and adult spine conditions. My area of specialty training is in spinal deformity surgery involving scoliosis, kyphosis and flatback deformities in children and adults. When I commit to a patient that I am going to operate on them, I treat them as I would my own family member, taking a lot of time and care in making sure they get the best treatment. The most rewarding part of my job is when somebody comes into the office after their surgery and thanks me for giving them their life back.
