LEGACY SPINE AND NEUROLOGICAL SPECIALISTS

Dominic Maggio, MD, Neurosurgeon and Partner

Honoring the work of trailblazing former partners Ray Jouett, MD and Ronald Williams, MD, Legacy Spine & Neurological Specialists builds upon their mission to advance neurosurgical care across the region. As pioneers of neurological surgery, Jouett and Williams used their expertise to set the standard in Arkansas for specialized care of the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Today, neurosurgeons Scott Schlesinger, MD and Dominic Maggio, MD, along with their highly-skilled team, carry that torch.

The goal of Schlesinger and Maggio is to make a lasting impact on the lives of their patients by delivering life-changing, minimally invasive neurosurgical care. As one of the most established practices in the state – boasting a combined 80 years of highly-conservative neurological care – Schlesinger and Maggio have delivered great outcomes for patients. The pair of neurosurgeons also leads the nation in the development and advancement of computer and image-guided micro spine surgery.

“As we look to our storied past, we are compelled to do our part in forging a better future for our field and, most importantly, our patients and their families,” Maggio says.

Up to 30% of lower back pain can be attributable to SI joint dysfunction. This condition is commonly misand under-diagnosed, despite being readily treatable with good outcomes. The specialists at Legacy Spine are amongst the most experienced in the country for identifying and treating patients with this disorder. Legacy Spine also offers same-day MRI appointments for any area of the body, and preliminary results are available to the patient’s physician within an hour of the MRl appointment.

Located within the Legacy Spine clinic, Pavilion MRI features a GE 1.5T MRI machine, the largest wide bore high-resolution magnet on the market. This state-of-the-art MRI is designed with a more spacious setting to help reduce patient anxiety, and is ideal for those who may be claustrophobic. It can also accommodate patients weighing up to 500 pounds.

Each of the services offered by Legacy Spine and Neurological is provided by expert spine and neurological physicians, technicians and nurses. To completely address each patient’s unique issues, Legacy Spine and Neurological utilizes a team approach, combining neurological expertise, minimally invasive (MIS) care and state-of-the-art neuro-imaging to create the full-spectrum of integrated care for every patient.

Everyone at Legacy Spine and Neurological is committed to advocating the most conservative approach to patient care and to treating each patient like family. From comprehensive evaluations that ensure an accurate diagnosis to customizable treatment options, the entire team of health care professionals strives to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of their patients.

“Oftentimes, patients come to us at a difficult time in their life. We want to make them feel comfortable and educated on what is causing their pain,” Maggio says. “Our ultimate satisfaction is making people better through the least invasive means possible.”
