General Info
Dr. Schuler founded Virginia Spine Institute in 1992 to advance the development of contemporary neurological and orthopaedic spinal surgery. Today his knowledge, leadership, and innovative techniques have revolutionized spinal healthcare and restored the lifestyles of tens of thousands nationwide. Over the past 25 years he has grown this award-winning medical practice into the largest multidisciplinary spinal practice in the region. As the Founder and CEO of Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. Schuler continues to pioneer the latest breakthrough in treatment to overcome back or neck pain. He has expanded his practice to include regenerative therapy, stem cell therapy, robotic spine surgery, ultrasonic spine surgery, and enhanced motion-preserving surgical techniques that benefit patients across the globe. In addition to performing the first hybrid multi-level cervical artificial disc replacement with spinal fusion in the country, he has first-hand experience of this procedure from the patient perspective. After suffering from severe neck pain, disc herniations, and nerve compression, Dr. Schuler underwent a hybrid procedure to treat four levels of his spine and is fully recovered and back to his life, pain free. His experience as a patient, having undergone both neck and low back surgery, affords him the unique ability to better understand his patients emotional and physical needs and the recovery process.

Another success...

This was the 4th procedure Dr. Schuler has performed due to degenerative disc disease. As with my other procedure, I noticed immediate relief from the pain or discomforts I felt.

Hopefully, my lower and cervical spine issues are all behind me, but if not I will always return to Dr. Schuler.

Everything you want in a spinal practice

I've been a patient with VSI for 9 months --> 2 surgeries.

Very pleased with the staff and Dr. Schuler. Super professional and explained everything as many times as I needed. This place is top of the line, I highly recommend.

Best thing I did for my well being!

I had tried all the treatment options for my neck, and not success,next thing to try was surgery, I was terrified at this option. Dr. Schuler and his team has been the best. I am so glad I went through with the surgery. I have my life back again!

Dramatic improvement in quality of life!

After a decade of severe chronic pain, inability to work, inability to care for my family and home, I found Dr. Schuler. After extremely thorough testing and evaluation, he performed a two-level fusion on my lumbar spine. Four months later, I am nearly pain-free! I'm resuming my life with a renewed vigor and enthusiasm, none of which would have been possible without the compassionate skillfulness of Dr. Schuler.

Excellent Experience, Excellent Outcome!

Had full confidence in Dr. Schuler from our first meeting. When physical therapy didn't help had 2 discs replaced and a fusion in cervical spine. That kept mobility while keeping spine stabilized. Doing great 4 months out. Absolutely & highly recommend!

I am pain free living my best life!

On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain was a nine. I was depressed, could hardly walk and was convinced I was going to die. Dr. Schuller changed all that. He performed a double spine fushion on me that literally changed my life! At 10 weeks I was able to walk a 5K race. At 5 months I was lifting heavy weights and packing up my house. All pain free!! I am now living my best life! I look forward to golfing, scuba, and biking. Who knew that life would be so sweet!

Awesome!

Dr. Schuler was quickly able to diagnose the problem, explain the procedures and gave me realistic expectations for recovery. Dr. Schuler listened to my concerns and my post-operative physical goals. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

So far...Great!

Only 2 weeks out of double artificial disc and one fusion surgery on my cervical spine but have already noticed positive results. Dr. Schuler & PA Thao along with the rest of their staff are absolutely top notch. Expecting continuing improvements over the next several months but again, have already noticed some significant improvements. I have had a high level of confidence with Dr. Schuler & staff from the first appointment. Highly Recommend!
