Spine surgeon
Bonita Springs & Estero —
Naples & Fort Myers.

Two offices are convenient for Bonita Springs and Estero patients. The Naples office is approximately 15 minutes south via US-41 or I-75 and is the closest for most Bonita Springs residents. The Fort Myers office is approximately 20 minutes north and may be more convenient for patients in northern Estero. Telemedicine is also available for initial consultations — review your imaging and discuss your symptoms without the drive.

Surgery for Bonita Springs and Estero patients is performed in Naples at one of three accredited facilities: NASA Surgery Center of Naples (NASA ASC), Physicians Regional Medical Center (PRMC), or NCH Healthcare System — approximately 15 minutes away. Most minimally invasive procedures are same-day: arrive in the morning, have surgery, recover for a few hours, and go home the same day. All three facilities are equipped with EOS EDGE imaging, intraoperative navigation, and robotic-assisted technology.

Yes — Dr. Katsevman works with most major insurance plans. Bonita Springs and Estero patients with Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, and many other carriers can be seen at the Fort Myers office. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your appointment and walk you through any prior authorization requirements. We also work with out-of-network arrangements and can explore GAP exception requests where applicable.

Yes — particularly if you have been recommended fusion, open laminectomy, or major cervical surgery. A second opinion from a fellowship-trained minimally invasive spine specialist frequently reveals less invasive options that were not offered. Dr. Katsevman provides second opinions in person at the Naples or Fort Myers office, or by telemedicine from your Bonita Springs or Estero home. Many patients find that the recommended procedure changes after a second opinion — or that the same procedure can be done with a smaller incision, shorter recovery, and same-day discharge.

Several things. First, the breadth of options: TOPS motion-preserving surgery, minimally invasive tubular laminectomy (up to 3 levels through a quarter-inch incision), cervical and lumbar disc replacement, ACDF, SI joint fusion with intraoperative CT confirmation, and the 3R Discectomy with Barricaid annular closure. Most practices in the area offer a subset of these. Second, the fellowship training at Barrow Neurological Institute — one of the world’s premier neurosurgical programs. Third, the technology: EOS EDGE alignment planning, robotics and navigation. Fourth, the philosophy: fusion only when genuinely indicated. And fifth, the proximity — Bonita Springs and Estero patients are 15 minutes from our Naples office, with access to all of this without leaving Southwest Florida.
