Biography

Dr. Wohlfeld specializes in treating complex and degenerative spine conditions, such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, cervical and lumbar radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease and myelopathy.

Dr. Wohlfeld uses less-invasive techniques to help patients recover more quickly. Whether patients see him after initial diagnosis or for revision surgery, he aims to find the most effective treatment approach individualized to the patient.

Dr. Wohlfeld’s experience on the spine faculty at an academic medical center treating complex revision patients has driven his interest in offering and utilizing motion preserving options rather than a fusion. These include procedures such the TOPS lumbar joint replacement, cervical and lumbar disc replacement, lumbar fusion without screws and rods and experience in endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery when appropriate.

Dr. Wohlfeld is a board-certified neurosurgeon who earned his medical degree with honors from Indiana University School of Medicine. He completed a general surgery internship and a Neurological Surgery residency at the University of Texas Southwestern medical center in Dallas. There as a faculty member he served as section chief for neurological surgery at the North Texas VA Medical Center and was promoted to associate professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center before choosing to return to Indiana to be closer to his roots.

Because I'm completely satisfied with the dr and the surgery turn out . I was treated very well with the dr and all the nurses and staff

It was my first encounter with this doctor. But my 5th in the office, I believe. It's been mostly positive with the people, but the high turnover caused massive delays in treatment.

Answered all questions and took time to get an answer she couldn't answer!
