Dr. Lindsay was very knowledgeable and polite. He did not seem rushed as some doctors do and he took the time to listen to me explain all of my symptoms. He then came up with a comprehensive plan of care and he covered all the bases. The staff was wonderful as well and everybody seemed very happy working there.I highly recommend Dr. Lindsay and the whole team over at Emerge Ortho.

Rather bland and vague appt. Didn’t ask me very many questions or seemed to be interested in my situation. Hoping PT is more helpful.
Dr. Christopher Lindsay, M.D., specializes in surgery of the back, neck, and spine. Common conditions that he treats include: disc herniations, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, arthritic conditions of the spine, fractures, and deformity of the neck or spine, including work-related or on the job injuries. Dr. Lindsay has advanced training in spine conditions and procedures, which allow him to provide his patients with all available non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
Surgeries performed by Dr. Lindsay include: general orthopedic fracture care (broken bones in the arms or legs), as well as a variety of spine procedures, including discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusions, cervical disc arthroplasty, cervical laminoplasty, and fracture stabilization and treatment. His special interest is in minimally invasive techniques, including microlaminectomy and microdiscectomy, as well as minimally invasive CT navigated fusion surgery, which use smaller incisions to still effectively treat the sources of pain in the spine.
Asheville is Dr. Lindsay’s hometown, though he has been away for 15 years prior to joining EmergeOrtho. He attended Virginia Tech for his undergraduate degree where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Biological Sciences. He received his M.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, and completed his orthopedic residency training in the historic University of Iowa Department of Orthopedics. After residency, he received additional training and experience in spine surgery at the University of Wisconsin Spine Surgery Fellowship, where he learned a variety of techniques from national and international leaders in the field. He is excited to be back home in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and in his free time enjoys hiking, biking, and being outdoors with his family.
He practices at EmergeOrtho’s South Asheville location, and operates at AdventHealth Hendersonville Hospital where he is the Medical Director of the Spine Center of Excellence, and also holds privileges at Pardee Hospital and Western Carolina Surgery Center.
