Advanced Spine Care, Right Here at Home

Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Samuel Adams is helping patients on the Kenai Peninsula find relief from back and neck pain—close to home. With 11 years of experience, Dr. Adams offers expert care for a wide range of spine conditions, and he brings advanced skill with robotic-assisted procedures using the Mazor X Stealth Robotic Guidance Platform.

“As a longtime user of robotics, I’ve seen how it allows for more accurate surgery, fewer complications, and minimally invasive procedures,” says Dr. Adams. “Robotic surgery has been a passion of mine, and I’m excited to offer it to patients here on the Peninsula.”

Dr. Adams also has a special clinical and research focus in Cervical Myelopathy (compression of the spinal cord)—a condition he’s spent much of his career studying and treating.

📍 Now accepting new patients—no referral needed with most insurances. VA, Medicaid and Medicare do require a referral.
