He has also been the recipient of multiple awards for both teaching and compassionate patient care. Spitz has given lectures and presentations teaching various surgical techniques both nationally and internationally. He has authored numerous scholarly publications and book chapters. Spitz is recognized in the field of minimally invasive and complex spine surgery. He currently serves as the Director of Neurosurgery for Northside Hospital.ĭr. Spitz then returned to Georgetown University Hospital to serve as an Associate Professor before returning home to Atlanta to join Southeastern Neurosurgical Specialists. He then went on to complete a complex spine fellowship at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA. During his neurosurgical training, he was a post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University where he helped develop a spine trauma model for the Department of Defense. He then completed his Surgical Internship and Neurosurgical Residency training at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. He received his medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia where he graduated Summa Cum Laude.
