PORTLAND NEUROSURGERY

Neurosurgeon V. JAMES MAKKER, M.D.

Approximately 80% of the population in the US will at some point be affected by back or neck pain. When most people begin to experience back pain, they will turn to their primary physician to seek medical care. Many patients however, will require the care of a specialized spinal surgeon. A spinal surgeon is a physician who has completed additional years of medical training in order to qualify them to diagnose and treat disorders affecting the spine.

Dr. Makker is a board certified spinal surgeon who has treated thousands of patients throughout the Portland area and adjacent states. Dr. Maker is an experienced and renowned surgeon who is dedicated to providing his patients with personalized, top-quality medical care.
