Board certified surgeon

Dr. Katzman is an internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery, and currently practices in New Jersey and Florida. In October 2015, Dr. Katzman was locally recognized as a top New Jersey doctor by The Star-Ledger’s Inside New Jersey.

After graduating from the University of California at San Diego in 1985, Dr. Scott Katzman attended medical school at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. Upon graduating in 1989, he completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Arizona and went on to become a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon in 1996. Since then Dr. Katzman has focused his career on minimally invasive spinal and laser surgical procedures.

As one of the most sought after spinal surgeons in the U.S., Dr. Katzman has spent time throughout his career lecturing and educating other physicians on his highly regarded techniques. He has also been a clinical instructor for companies such as Biomet, Johnson & Johnson, Othrocore, Kyphon and Clarus. His spinal disc replacement and fusion procedures are so minimally invasive, patients are often able to have their surgeries performed in an outpatient surgery center. To his patients this means less down time and a quicker recovery than most traditional spinal surgeries.

In February 2014, I made the trip to Florida and didn’t look back. Dr. Katzman put me at ease and explained the procedure in terms I could understand. After the surgery, my pain relief was immediate and marked a turning point for me. I am five months out and still pain free! My only regret is that I didn’t call OLSS sooner. My sincerest thanks to Dr. Scott Katzman and Orthopedic and Laser Spine Surgery.
