Montrose Regional Health hires new spine surgeon
MONTROSE, Colo. (KREX) – Montrose Regional Health has hired a new spine surgeon, Dr. Rasheed Abiola. With this addition, surrounding areas will soon have the ability to get advanced spinal care much closer to home. Dr. Abiola will officially join the MRH Spine and Pain Center on June 9.
His arrival brings nine years of spine surgery experience, with expertise in minimally invasive, robotic, motion-preserving and complex spine surgeries.
'Dr. Abiola's arrival at Montrose Regional Health is a huge milestone for our Spine and Pain Center,' said Jeff Mengenhausen, CEO of Montrose Regional Health. 'No one should have to leave their community to get world-class spine and pain care. With Dr. Abiola and our exceptional team, patients can now access that expertise right here in Montrose.'
Dr. Abiola studied at The Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University and is certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS).
Before coming to MRH, he was practicing at Mendelson Kornblum Orthopedics at Synergy Health Partners in Troy, Michigan, as an orthopedic spine surgeon.
'The majority of spine conditions can be treated without surgery,' Dr. Abiola said. 'My goal is to thoroughly explore all non-surgical options and only consider surgery when those options have been fully exhausted.'
