MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY: SMALL INCISION, BIG IMPACT.
At Sinkov Spine Center, we specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery. Utilizing the latest technology and instruments we can make smaller incisions with less damage to the body while giving the patients the same or better surgical outcomes than traditional techniques. There are many benefits to minimally invasive spine surgery, including shorter hospital stay, less tissue damage, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery and return to function.
For some patients, the surgery can be done with the assistance of a specialized robot. The high-tech robotic surgery system uses the most advanced and accurate technology trusted by spine surgeons today. Minimally invasive spine surgery with robotic assistance and computer navigation helps with the most precise and efficient placement of instruments, making the surgery quicker and safer.

TESTIMONIALS FROM DR. SINKOV'S SATISFIED PATIENTS

Dr. Sinkov is amazing! We actually joke to our family and call him a superhero. My husband had been going to a different doctor for over 3 years and was told he needed surgery but every month our insurance would deny it. […] Dr. Sinkov performed the surgery in April 2019 and within just a few weeks my husband said he felt almost no pain anymore. It was like a miracle. He regained feeling and strength in his arm and fingers which had been weak and tingling for years. He had been getting frequent migraines every week for years. I honestly can't remember the last time he had a migraine now, maybe after the surgery. Dr. Sinkov is an amazing, talented and gifted surgeon. I will recommend him to everyone! In fact, I already did recommend him to my mom. He seems like he cares about his patients. He is compassionate. He takes time to listen to you and answer any questions you have. Every time we saw him he went over procedures or details with us and always asked if we had questions. At one point I told him I had no questions because he already answered them before I could even ask. He's very thorough and very smart. I highly recommend him!!!! I thank God we found him for my husband's surgery.

I had been in pain for over 10 years trying to find an alternative to spinal fusion. I have tried everything possible to tolerate the pain. Disc replacement surgery was fairly new in NH and not many patients had it done in the US through their insurance . As the FDA approved the surgery on two levels, I contacted Dr. Sinkov who was innovating and a leader with the surgery. I was nervous being his first candidate. What a great surgeon, very professional and thorough. It’s been 3 great years.

My husband and I both are patients of Dr. Sinkov. He is kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable about neck/spine problems. He did surgery on my neck 6 months ago. I went from daily, chronic pain level of 7-8, to 0 pain. I would recommend Dr. Sinkov to anyone with back/neck problems.

Dr. Vladimir Sinkov is amazing. I have a congenital deteriorating spine. This is my third spinal surgery, and it went much better than with the previous surgeon. Typical recovery is 2-3 days. On the morning after surgery, I woke up with a pain level of 1 with NO pain meds. Upon waking up, I also have more feeling in my legs than I have in several years. The pain eventually did return, but only after I started exercising. I was successfully discharged on the day after surgery.

I needed major back surgery for an injury I sustained. Dr Sinkov was my treating doctor. As this was a major surgery I wanted to have the best person do it. We have all have heard the stories of complications after back surgery. I looked in Tuffs Medical, Mass general and several other major hospitals. Every Dr nurse and physical therapist all said Dr Sinkov was the only one that they would have perform surgery on their back. I am so happy I listened to them. He's fantastic! Best decision yet!

I have been suffering with back pain for 20 years. I met Dr. Sinkov and was at the end of my rope. He spent a great deal of time my answering all my questions, never rushing. I was impressed with his explanations and bedside manner. He recommended a one level minimally invasive surgery called TLIF technique. I left the hospital the next day and walked 10,000 steps within the first week. He found a nerve compression no one saw for 20 years! Thank you, Dr. Sinkov!

Dr. Sinkov is very meticulous about his patients care, exams and does not rush to surgery. He uses all available options before he suggest surgery. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions and takes into account any other health issues that may be taking a toll with you. I have met other patients and friends of patients whom have been cared for by Dr. Sinkov and they all have the same professional opinion of him. Thanks your excellent medical care and professionalism.

Dr. Vladimir Sinkov is a God send. He really is the answer to many, many prayers. I was injured as a teenager and am now 40yrs.For 9 yrs. the pain waxed & waned according to how much work I did. Cleaned house, long day at work as a cocktail waitress etc. I would hurt for a few days. Then at 26yrs we had a baby girl. During that pregnancy I was put on narcotic pain meds. I didn't need them daily but there were days ...

I was experiencing severe neck pain with muscle spasms. Dr. Sinkov performed a cervical fusion. At three months, I was back to playing golf & tennis. He gave me back my life. I had two pre-surgery consults with Dr. Sinkov - he answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. I knew that I chose the right surgeon!

Dr. Sinkov was extremely professional, thorough and kind throughout the entire process. He took every precaution necessary to try to prevent any complications and/or possible infections pre- and post- surgery. The surgery was a scary undertaking for me, because it was on my cervical spine, but Dr. Sinkov was THE BEST! If I had to have another similar surgery I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Sinkov was highly recommended by two other surgeons consulted for secondary opinions. His training, specific skills set, professionalism, quiet, thoughtful and gentle approach to reviewing my films, outlining my surgical options and answering questions I had were notable, detailed and reassuring. Nursing staff complimented to me his attention to detail, protocol and safety precautions.

Saw Dr. Sinkov for lower back pain. Dr. Sinkov spent a lot of time with me explaining what was wrong after requesting x-ray. He was very personable with a great bedside manner. After explaining my back issues, Sinkov referred me to the Pain Clinic where after several procedures, I am now pain free. Thank you Dr. Sinkov for your caring and help with my back pain. Dr Sinkov is a very knowledgeable Doctor to whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody needing a spine/back Doctor. 5 stars to him!

Best surgeon I know! He was so nice, honest, and informative throughout my entire process with him. Every visit I went to I fired a million questions at him and he answered every single one of them and then some. He was very patient when explaining stuff to me and I truly appreciated that, most doctors are super rushed and Dr. Sinkov definitely took his time with me. He helped my quality of life tremendously and I can’t thank him enough! I am only 28 years old and I had a C5 C6 cervical disc replacement and I feel like a million bucks. I can hike, workout, and do everything I used to do like normal again with absolutely no pain! Thanks Dr. Sinkov you’re literally a lifesaver!

After 10 years of agony and all the shots and PT. I needed surgery on my neck. As an active 42 y/o individual, fusion was out of the question for me. When the FDA final approve disc replacement on 2 levels, I sought out the DRs. that could do it. He was the only one at the time. The surgery was new. Being his first 2 levels disc replacement patient I was very nervous. After meeting with him I decided to go for it. He was very professional and thorough. The recovery was quick. I am now 3 years in and doing great. Great job on my 2 level disc replacement surgery. I’m sad to see him move. Best of luck.

I have been suffering with back pain for the last 20 years. By the time I met Dr. Sinkov, I was at the end of my rope. He spent a great deal of time my answering all my questions, never rushing. I was impressed with his explanations and bedside manner. He recommended a one level minimally invasive surgery called (TLIF) fusion technique. I left the hospital the next day, I got out of bed right away and was walking 10,000 steps within the first week. I feel like I never had surgery. Everyone always asked me why I didn’t go to Boston. The answer is simple…..Dr. Sinkov. The last day that we left his office for my postop visit, I thought my husband was going to cry. We really appreciate all the effort in he has put into my care when other surgeons were completely unsympathetic and did not go the extra mile. Thank you, Dr. Sinkov! I will always remember what you did for me and my family!

Dr Sinkov made the difficult diagnosis that my other doctors didn't for years and also was able to determine that I possibly had Elhers Danlos causing me more pain. He then performed surgery despite my vacation and crazy schedules, accomodated my superstitions, had an awesome staff that set all my pre op way ahead of time so that I could get my surgery done right after my India trip. He was supportive of all my questions and was very thoughtful and thorough about everything. Six weeks later when he met me at the clinic, he actually remembered what we exchanged before I was wheeled into surgery. Hats off to him. I was really touched and impressed. I'm recovering slowly but I can already tell that I'm in lesser pain post op outside of the healing pain. Thank you for being a great doctor,surgeon and most importantly a wonderful person. I wish you and your family the best as you move to another city.

I had 2 lumbar spine procedures with Dr. Sinkov in 2014, at the same time no less. I felt completely confident in his abilities and in the fact that he genuinely cares about his patients. My leg no longer gives out from the discs pinching those nerves, and my quality of life has improved dramatically. Nobody wants to undergo a back surgery, but if you have to, Dr. Sinkov is a man you want in your corner, and OR! His kindness and caring ways add to the quality of care you will receive from him and his support staff. He will never rush you, or leave you with unanswered questions.

There are no words that express my feelings for this very talented surgeon. He is so very humble and sincerely wants to make your body right. He knows his stuff and does it with such ease. I was in such a terrible way when I first met him. I had been seeing another surgeon and he told me that I would never be able to turn my head from left to right after the fusion. This would mean never being able to drive and do many other daily activities. The picture was so bleak that I was in a very depressed state, from pain and anticipation of surgery. I then had decided to seek out another opinion. This was when I met Dr. Sinkov. I was in such a state, he sat down next to me and calmed me down. Listen and reviewed my MRI and told me what his idea of surgery would be and YES....Within days I was in the OR had nothing but praises to sing about this man. I had an anterior multi-level cervical fusion, I can turn my neck left and right. I can do lots of things that I have not been able to do in years. There are no words for his God given talent. Thank you Dr. Sinkov!

I am sure glad that I went to see Dr. Sinkov. He identified cervical stenosis when my other surgeon did not even address my neck pain. I could possibly have been paralyzed after having lumbar spine surgery with the other surgeon because he did not address the cervical stenosis first.

Dr. Vladimir Sinkov is the best spine surgeon in the County, to me. I previously had neck surgery in NH by Dr Sinkov and I was pleased with the results, experience, professionalism and everything about him in general. Five years later after being told by several surgeons in NH I needed back surgery I traveled to LV where Dr Sinkov now opened his own practice, Sinkov Spine Center, I had my back surgery. Again I am so pleased and blessed that Dr Sinkov did the surgery. I wouldn't have it any other way. He is truly the best out there.

I was in tremendous pain, headaches, weakness, insomnia, numbness, tingling and a very poor quality of life. My insurance referred me to Dr. Sinkov, staff is very professional and helpful and Dr. Sinkov immediately helped me to feel at ease. After having an MRI, failing many months of Physical Therapy and my many symptoms progressively getting worse, we agreed that surgery was my best option. He answered all my questions, went over the procedure details at length and reassured me that I would have a good outcome. I was impressed by his knowledge and humanity, not to mention the many accolades I discovered upon researching his excellent reputation. I am so glad that I was referred to Dr. Sinkov, had the surgery and now recovering very well. I had a great experience with Dr. Sinkov and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a Spinal Surgeon.
