Dr. Edward Perry, M.D. joined the SpineNevada team after completing fellowship training in Complex Spine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville in the Department of Neurosurgery. Fellowship training is the highest level of medical education in the U.S.
Dr. Perry serves as Assistant Clinical Professor in the School of Medicine at University of Nevada, Reno. He serves as instructor and mentor to medical students and has on-going clinical research projects with several students at UNR School of Medicine.
Dr. Perry also serves as the Chief of Neurosurgery at Renown Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Perry earned his undergraduate degree in biology at California State University in Sacramento while earning departmental honors in biological sciences. He obtained his medical degree from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine and earned membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society in 2005.

Dr. Perry specializes in all aspects of spine surgery, including adult degenerative conditions, congenital deformities, spine trauma, spine tumors and deformity correction, including anterior, lateral and posterior spinal approaches. In addition, he has experience and interest in peripheral nerve disorders, head trauma, and brain tumors.
As a spine surgeon, he emphasizes non-surgical treatment options in advance of surgery, holding that as the last resort for patients. If surgery is necessary, Dr. Perry is also trained in the latest minimally invasive spine surgery techniques that reduce the length of the incision, the time in the hospital and the time needed for recovery. Many patients can have their surgery in the morning and be home later the same day to recover in their own home.

So far great
He was quick and to the point. Listened and saw the issue. I didnt feel like i was not being heard
Takes to long for appointments and tests.
Try pleased with doctor. She
Dr. Perry was very thorough with his explanation of the situation and we left feeling all our questions were answered.
Dr Perry listened to my concerns, didn’t rush me and explained procedures well.
Appointment was rushed, abrupt comments, like my issues did not warrant visit with "busy neurosurgeon"
I’m sure Dr. Perry is a very nice man and perhaps even a brilliant doctor. Unfortunately, in the approximately 15 minutes I spent with him during our initial consultation, I felt incredibly rushed and unheard. It’s possible that he was just trying to get back on schedule, because he was late for my appointment to start with, (which he did apologize for.) Again, he is probably a very nice/brilliant doctor. But no matter how nice and brilliant he might be, I will not be going back to him in the future. I need healthcare providers who don’t make me feel as though we’re running a verbal race to see how quickly we can just wrap it up! Fifteen minutes, hmm… did we at least win the race?!
Always caring, helpful with suggestions on my healing. Listens to my problems and is helping me to heal. Good man.
