One of the worlds preeminent minimally invasive spine surgeons, Dr. Gerald R. Schells roots stem from the Thumb of Michigan. Dr. Schell attended Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan and later received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Michigan State Universitys College of Human Medicine before completing a neurosurgical rotation at Syracuse University. Syracuse University later offered him the directorship of its neurosurgical training program, which he declined to continue caring for the needs of Michigan patients. Currently, Dr. Schell uses advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for the vast majority of his patients with spinal disc disease. For patients who previously had no hope for pain relief for osteoporotic compression fractures, Dr. Schell performs novel procedures such as the three dimensional CT reconstructive techniques with balloon kyphoplasty. Dr. Schell performed the first artificial lumbar disc surgery in the state of Michigan, and both he and Dr. Field …are currently playing a leading international role in the experimental development of single-level and two-level artificial discs for cervical disk problems. They are also involved with numerous other collaborative scientific endeavors to help advance neurosurgical care. Additionally, Dr. Schell served as the Chief of Staff of St. Marys of Michigan hospital in Saginaw until 2009.
