Board-certified brain and spine specialists offering minimally invasive procedures and same-week appointments across Georgia.
Answer a few quick questions to help us understand your symptoms and provide personalized guidance.
We'll match you with the right neurosurgeon and the most relevant next step.
1. Where are your symptoms?
From complex neurosurgery to minimally invasive procedures, we offer a full spectrum of treatments tailored to your unique needs.
Expert treatment for brain tumors, including pituitary tumors, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, gliomas, and metastases.
Specialized care for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, fistulas, and other blood vessel conditions.
Modern, minimally invasive approaches for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative spine disorders.
Cervical fusion, lumbar discectomy, spinal cord stimulator & more — explore all 7 spine procedures we offer.
Smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery. Our surgeons use advanced microscopic and tubular techniques for microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and MIS-TLIF fusion — often as outpatient procedures.
Maintain your natural range of motion. Cervical arthroplasty (artificial disc replacement) replaces damaged discs with implants that move like your own — avoiding the limitations of traditional fusion.

"I believe in treating people, not images, and I guide care by asking what I would recommend if the patient were a member of my own family."
Real reviews from patients who trust our neurosurgeons with their brain and spine care.
"Dr Walters is one of the most attentive and helpful doctors I've spoken to. He took the time before and after my dad's surgeries to show us the scans and answer everyone's questions, which made the emergency situation much less stressful than it might have been. Dr Walters has been awesome at follow-up visits as well, and the office staff is lovely too. Both surgeries went smoothly and Dad's getting his strength and dexterity back."
Amy K.
Patient of Dr. Jerry Walters II
"I would like to give praise and gratitude to this wonderful doctor. Dr. Jerry Walters did an outstanding job with getting my lower back pain. I had Sciatica Back pain for over 20+ years and was in daily pain. Dr. Walters got to the root of the problem with surgery and for the first time in years, I can honestly say that my back is still in healing stages, but I am 98% pain free."

✓ Back to hiking pain-free after 6 months
"After years of struggling to walk more than a block without excruciating leg pain, I was referred to Dr. Walters. He explained everything in a way I could understand, recommended a minimally invasive laminectomy, and within weeks of surgery I was walking my dog again. Six months later, I'm back to hiking with my grandchildren—something I thought I'd never do again."
Patient R.J.
Spinal Stenosis • Dr. Jerry Walters II
✓ Successful tumor removal with full recovery
"When I was diagnosed with a meningioma, I was terrified. Dr. Stephens sat with my family for over an hour, walking us through every detail of the surgery and what to expect. The procedure went even better than planned, and his post-operative care was outstanding. He truly treats you like family, not just another patient."
Patient M.D.
Brain Tumor • Dr. Marcus Stephens
✓ 98% pain-free after 20+ years of chronic sciatica
"I had been living with severe sciatica pain for over 20 years. Multiple injections, physical therapy—nothing lasted. Dr. Walters identified the root cause and performed a microdiscectomy. For the first time in two decades, I wake up without dreading the pain. I'm 98% pain-free and finally have my life back."
Patient T.W.
Herniated Disc & Sciatica • Dr. Jerry Walters II
✓ Full cognitive recovery within 3 months
"After a car accident left me with persistent headaches, memory issues, and dizziness, I was struggling at work and home. Dr. Stephens conducted a thorough concussion evaluation and created a personalized recovery plan. His team monitored my progress closely, and within three months I was back to normal. His care went above and beyond."
