Dr. Daniel Dixon, MD will be joining the Northern Rockies Orthopaedics team in January, 2024. He is a fellowship trained Orthopedic Spine Surgery specialist who is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.
Dr. Dixon is a native of southwestern North Dakota where he grew up on his family’s cattle ranch. Growing up in this environment taught him humility, a strong work ethic, and appreciation for the rural lifestyle.
Following his training, Dr. Dixon has practiced orthopedic spine surgery for 7 years in the Dakotas. His love for the outdoors has brought him to the beautiful Bitterroot Valley and Missoula, MT.
Dr. Dixon is listed as a co author on scientific articles published in peer reviewed journals. He is committed to teaching the next generation of students and is an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery with the Idaho College of Ostoepathic Medicine.
Dr. Dixon will see common and more complex problems of the spine. These include conditions affecting cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine and the sacrum. He specializes in both adult and pediatric conditions of the spine. He specializes in degenerative conditions of the spine, traumatic injuries of the spine, and selected deformities of the spine. Dr. Dixon sees a wide array of spinal pathologies. Most often these conditions can be treated non surgically. Dr. Dixon will carefully select conditions that will respond favorably to surgery and that have initially been treated non surgically.
Examples of surgeries Dr. Dixon can provide when surgery is indicated are: microdiscectomy, laminectomy/laminoforaminotomy, kyphoplasty, lumbar and cervical fusions, lumbar and cervical disc replacements, SI joint fusion, tumor ablation of the spine, revision surgery of the spine and selected adult deformity procedures. Dr. Dixon attempts to use minimally invasive techniques (MIS) whenever possible for performance of surgery. These include techniques such as: ALIF, OLIF, XLIF, LLIF, MIS TLIF, or tubular surgery.
Additionally, Dr. Dixon is trained in the latest techniques in spine surgery including robotic assisted surgery of the spine. Dr. Dixon uses robotic surgery to help minimize the invasiveness of surgery and increase the safety of the procedure.
Dr. Dixon is a member of AO Spine of North America, the National Association of Spine Surgery, the Montana Orthopedic Society, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
When Dr. Dixon is not doing spine surgery, he enjoys hunting, fishing, attending his children’s sports, spending time with his family outdoors and just generally enjoying all that the beautiful state of MT has to offer.

I have the highest regard for Dr. Dixon. He is personable, listens well, answers questions thoroughly and in an accessible manner. He's a superb surgeon. I count myself fortunate to be under his care.
Very good surgeon. Caring and compassionate.
Very knowledgeable doctor who took his time with me. I left his office with a lot of hope that he will be able to help me.
I was to see a neurologist.call. You had my referral for one. my mri images & reports early enough to know you couldn't for anything for me. Yet no one bothered to tell me this. I arrived nearly an hour early at your request to be passed off to his PA who only legitimized the appt by taking unnecessary xrays. The PA bumbled her way through the MRI's discussing NOTHING from the actual report findings. She was only comfortable discussing the useless xrays. Towards the end of the ridiculous exam, she says they're Orthopedists and couldn't do anything for me and admitted to knowing this before I arrived. The PA also diagnosed me out of the blue without a clear understanding of my baseline physiology or medical history a life altering disease of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS!!! Also said it could be Raynauds disease or a flare up of Lupus. My god, i had a near fatal head on collision on the way down to an appt that never should have been scheduled!!
Dr. Dixon and his support staff are caring and prompt. I have complete confidence in him and his team.
Great Everything that we expected
Very courteous and kind.Joel did a great job for me

Dr. Daniel Dixon is the best neck and back surgeon my wife and I have ever experienced. We suffer from chronic serious injuries. Dixon is compassionate, informative, careful and has performed multiple successful surgeries for both my wife and I!
Excellent and professional
