MEET YOUR SURGEON!

Dr. Gregory Drake is dual fellowship trained in shoulder and elbow surgery and adult spinal reconstructive surgery. He completed his spinal reconstructive fellowship through Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons, where he completed over three hundred and fifty major spine surgeries. Deeply committed to the welfare of his patients, he specializes in minimally invasive treatment options and believes in a conservative, minimalistic approach to surgery. He has been trained in treating the complete spine, including the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions.

Dr. Drake’s second fellowship was performed under the tutelage of world-renowned surgeons Dr. Gary Gartsman and Dr. T. Bradley Edwards at Fondren Orthopedic Group. Rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, distal clavicle resection and labral repairs are all performed through small incisions and the use of a small camera. Shoulder replacement surgery includes the standard replacement for those with arthritis, as well as the reverse total shoulder in those whose rotator cuff is deficient.

Other surgical procedures he performs on the shoulder include tendon transfers, arthroscopic suprascapular nerve releases, Latarjet coracoid transfers for shoulder dislocations, and resurfacing procedures. Dr. Drake is a recipient of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon’s prestigious Neer Award. This award recognizes leading surgeons who are advancing techniques used worldwide.
