In addition to treating common adult degenerative conditions using both open and minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Hiratzka is highly experienced with the most complex of spinal conditions, including trauma, deformity (scoliosis), and spinal oncology. Dr. Hiratzka has spent the last three years as the Spine Surgery Fellowship Director at OHSU, responsible for the training of post-residency orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons in the art and science of spine surgery.

When appropriate, minimally invasive and motion-preserving technologies can be used to allow for a return to the highest levels of recreational activity and daily function. If surgery of any kind is necessary, Dr. Hiratzka is committed to providing not only superior surgical care, but guidance and support through a comprehensive rehabilitation program to return to desired levels of activity.In his free time, Dr. Hiratzka enjoys weightlifting, obstacle course racing, skiing with his family, and coaching youth sports.

He always answers my questions. And now that the surgery is done all my pain is gone. I feel he did a very good job
Very nice & straight forward.
He didn't seem to care at all that I'm in constant pain and I'm in so much pain that I can't sleep. I've been waiting for months to see him and I didn't get any answers and I feel defeated. I would never recommend this surgeon to anyone.
Dr. Hiratzka was engaging and listened which was truly appreciated.
Explained everything to us. Answered questions
He was knowledgeable and listen to me.
Friendly, and he listened.

This man is an amazing surgeon and I can feel my legs all the time now instead of falling by not feeling them and I am praying the next surgery will take care of some of my pain and arms being numb!
Went in for chronic headache (10 mos) associated with neck pain. After looking at in-house xray and reviewing previous MRIs and treatment histories. Implied that previous diagnosis of pinch neck nerve could have mistaken and suggested different treatment approach. I felt listened to in a respectful manner and showed actual interest in resolving my medical situation. Can't ask for anything more in a physician.
