Why Tennessee Patients Choose 360 Ortho & Spine
Tennessee patients dealing with chronic back and neck pain who are looking for an alternative to traditional spine surgery have a destination worth considering. 360 Ortho & Spine in Tampa, Florida, is a minimally invasive spine practice built around a single principle: no metal implants. Dr. Stefan Prada, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon with over 11,000 procedures performed, uses endoscopic techniques to treat the source of spinal pain without fusion, without hardware, and without cutting through the muscle tissue surrounding the spine.
The result is less bleeding, less postoperative pain, preserved spinal motion, and a recovery that most patients complete in approximately six weeks. The practice is self-pay, new patient visits are a full 30 minutes long, and the team is fluent in both English and Spanish.

What spine conditions does Dr. Prada treat for patients from Tennessee?

Each patient receives a one-on-one telemedicine consultation to identify the most appropriate minimally invasive procedure for their specific condition.
Is laser spine surgery a good option for patients from Tennessee?
For patients diagnosed with spinal arthritis, the laser procedure for spinal arthritis at 360 Ortho & Spine is a minimally invasive option that is often overlooked by other providers. Rather than relying on pain management that only addresses symptoms temporarily, this procedure targets the affected facet nerves directly for longer-lasting relief, without metal implants and with a shorter recovery than traditional surgical alternatives.
Do Tennessee patients have the option of a video consultation?
Yes! Tennessee patients who want to explore care at 360 Ortho & Spine before traveling to Tampa, Florida, can request a video consultation. You will need to provide your completed new patient packet along with copies of your MRI and X-ray images and reports, and any operative reports, for Dr. Prada to review prior to your virtual visit. Copies cannot be returned and may be destroyed following review. An in-person physical exam is required before surgery, and can be completed when you travel to Tampa for your procedure.
What hotel options are available near the practice for Tennessee patients?
There are several affordable hotels within a 15-mile radius of our facility, including properties near Tampa International Airport that are practical for patients driving or flying in from Tennessee. We suggest asking about freezer availability when booking, as you will need access to one for your ice packs during your recovery.
Is it okay to book a trip from Tennessee before a surgery date is confirmed?
Hold off on booking flights, rental cars, or accommodations until you have received medical clearance from Dr. Prada and a confirmed date from our office. Travel booked before that confirmation is difficult to adjust and can result in avoidable costs. We will confirm your date and provide clear next steps before you make any travel arrangements.
