Nina Lara, MD
Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
Nina Lara, MD, is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Spine Surgeon with a strong connection to the Arizona medical community. She earned her medical degree from the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine in Phoenix and completed her Orthopedic Surgery Residency at the Mayo Clinic of Arizona. Dr. Lara’s desire to learn how to surgically treat the full spectrum of spinal disorders led her to complete her fellowship in minimally invasive and complex spinal disorders at the University of Maryland’s R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
Dr. Lara believes that each patient’s pain is uniquely different. While there are many issues that back and neck pain have in common, everyone has their own journey. She is passionate about getting to know each of her patients individually and developing a treatment plan together to get them back to doing the activities they love.
She specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery and treats many different conditions of the spine including adult spinal deformity, degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, sciatica, spinal instability, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, traumatic spine injuries, and more.
