The Surgeon's Perspective: Cervical Myelopathy with Dr. Erich Anderer

Spine & Nerve

In this week's episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Brian Joves is joined by a very special guest to continue the discussion on Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM). Dr. Erich Anderer joins the podcast today to give us the surgeon's perspective on DCM. During his day job as the Chief of Neurosurgery at NYU Langone Hospital- Brooklyn, Dr. Anderer does his best to work with patients to develop a treatment plan that doesn’t require surgery- incorporating yoga, Pilates, or meditation into someone’s care. He has preached this "less is more" philosophy across Instagram, teaching yoga classes, or lecturing at wellness retreats. When not performing surgery on the brain or spine as an assistant professor of neurological surgery, Dr. Anderer is one of the most interesting men in the world - He practices Ashtanga yoga, spends as much time outdoors with his wife and two children as possible, and still has time to: be a founding member of the North Brooklyn Runners; an advisory board member of the Concussion Legacy Foundation; serve on the boards of the NY State Neurosurgical Society, the Japanese Medical Society of America, God’s Love We Deliver, and the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance; and play in a band... You can find Dr. Anderer on social platforms under his name: Dr.Erich Anderer. This podcast is for information and educational purposes only, it is not meant to be medical or career advice.
