The Most Advanced Spine Surgeon in Beverly Hills
For nearly four decades, the Back Institute in Beverly Hills has been the global reference for non-traumatic endoscopic spine surgery. Patients from Los Angeles, throughout California, and over 40 countries travel to Dr. David Ditsworth specifically because of one thing he offers that no other surgeon in the region does: the NANO Procedure — a 4mm endoscopic discectomy with no cutting, no drilling, and no scarring.
4mm NANO Scope
The world's smallest endoscopic spine instrument. No bone removed.
40+ Publications
Peer-reviewed research authored by Dr. Ditsworth since 1986.
Outpatient Same-Day
Walk in, walk out. Most patients return to work in days.
Why Beverly Hills Patients Choose the Back Institute
- Pioneer status. The fundamental approaches for non-traumatic access spinal disc removal were invented here.
- Highest surgery-center certification available in California — equipment dedicated exclusively to non-traumatic spine care.
- Conscious-sedation only. No general anesthesia, no intubation, dramatically reduced anesthetic risk.
- Doctors-treating-doctors. Many physicians and surgeons from Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health and other top institutions have come here for their own spine procedures.
