约翰·卡里迪（John Caridi）博士是一位受过奖学金的，经过董事会认证的神经外科医生，专门从事脊柱手术，尤其是对成人和儿科宫颈，胸腔和腰椎脊柱畸形的复杂重建。他的专业领域包括用于先天性和退化性关节和椎间盘疾病的复杂重建手术；脊柱创伤和畸形校正，包括脑脊柱，脊柱侧弯，下巴骨头畸形和耳朵肩部畸形；修订脊柱手术；影响脊柱的癌症的切除和脊柱稳定；以及微创的脊柱手术和显微外科手术。
After graduating with honors from Indiana University School of Medicine, where he was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, Dr. Caridi completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center and R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. He then completed a one-year orthopedic fellowship in adult and pediatric spinal deformity surgery at the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, and trained in advanced minimally invasive spine surgery at the Schoen Klinik in Munich, Germany. His neurosurgical experience combined with orthopedic spine training gives him unique expertise.
Prior to joining McGovern Medical School, he developed and directed the neurosurgical spinal deformity program for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. As principal investigator for numerous studies focused on improving patient outcomes, Dr. Caridi has presented his research nationally and internationally and has published his findings in peer-reviewed journals. In 2019, he was honored with the prestigious Scoliosis Research Society international traveling fellowship.

Physicians at UTHealth Neurosciences engage referring physicians in the care of their patients, keeping them informed about patient progress throughout the evaluation and treatment process. After a patient’s treatment, referring physicians receive a summary and a plan for follow-up, and we encourage continued communication.
