In Episode 53 of Loop Podcast, Stephanie sits down with Jeffrey Roh, MD, MBA, MSc of Excel Health to talk about minimally invasive spine surgery, AI in medicine, preventative healthcare, peptide therapy, and why the future of surgery may happen “through a needle.” Dr. Roh shares how traditional open spine procedures are evolving into highly advanced endoscopic surgeries with smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and less damage to the body.
