Dr. Orin Keith Atlas, MD

Excellent surgeon! Gives you confidence in getting back to health!

On or about Feb. 5 of this y ear I had the most intense neck pain in my life. I could not move my head at all and lost all motion in my right arm. I went to Virtua Medical Center ER in Mt. Holly NJ. I was given a C Scan and a MRI. I was then diagnosed with a spinal epidural abscess and a neurosurgeon, Dr. Oren Atlas was called in. Dr. Atlas told me I would need laminectomy surgery in the morning, or I would become paralyzed, and possibly die, should the infection travel to the blood stream. I said yes to the surgery. I needed four surgeries. Dr. Atlas first went into the thorax region of my spine to get rid of the infection. After that surgery, I remained intubated, and was taken for another MRI. I was in too much pain to get into the position needed on the first MRI. I then spent the night intubated in the ICU. The following morning Dr. Atlas then went into my neck to get rid of the infection in that part of my spinal column. He left the incision open with a drain. A few days later, Dr. Atlas then went into my neck again to be sure he got all the infection, and close the incision. About a week later Dr. Atlas performed the fourth surgery. He went into the front of my neck, to put in titanium rods, to sure up my weakened spinal column, and prevent my head from slipping out of place. The infection was cultured and identified. I was then treated with an intravenous antibiotic through a pick line for about ten weeks. I received a final MRI and was cleared by infectious disease Doctor Sherin Meledathu. I was in Virtua Medical Center for three weeks then transferred to Kessler Rehabilitation Center in Vorhees NJ for ten days. I then was released home and had a visiting nurse for another six weeks. I fully recovered. I got back full motion of might right arm with no restrictions. I have the same quality of life as I had before my illness. I owe all of this to the surgical skill and experience of Dr. Atlas. His calm demeaner and confidence really kept me at ease through the whole ordeal. Thank you Doctor Atlas. I am forever grateful. I would also like thank Dr. Atlas assistants for their help. I would also like to thank the all the other Doctors, Nurses, Physical Therapists, and Speech Therapists of both Virtua Medical Center and Kessler Rehabilitation Center. All of you together brought me to a full recovery.

Everyone at Dr Atlas office including Dr Atlas is so caring. I was seen after being admitted to the hospital for and infection that settled in my spine. Surgery was required on 6 vertebrae. I am happy to say that 6 weeks post op I am functioning at a much better level.

I was seen in the emergency room for partial loss of feeling in both legs and difficulty urinating. Dr Atlas fixed a spinal issue that has been problematic for 40 years. Thank you, Dr Atlas, for using your advanced skills to fix my complex issue. I was back on my feet within a few days of surgery. You are the best.

I went to Dr Atlas with severe neck pain and severe numbness from the neck down. Tests were given, my issue was thoroughly explained and required surgery which was thoroughly explained. Cervical fusion was successfully done with no after effects now 20 weeks after surgery. No numbness, no tingling, no pain from surgery. Dr. Atlas returned my life to normalcy. I highly recommend Dr Atlas.

From Eileen at the front desk, to Ashley the PA, to Dr Atlas himself I was treated with a level of care and concern above and beyond what one could ever hope for when dealing with a herniated disc. Dr Atlas performed a successful surgery that quite literally moved me from level 10 pain and immobility to zero pain and full mobility overnight. Eternally grateful to this team. Highly recommend them to anyone experiencing back pain.

I came to Dr. Atlas with a history of back issues, and for years I suffered from chronic sciatic pain. What stood out to me the most was the professionalism exhibited by Dr. Atlas. He is respectful and treats his clients with the utmost care. I felt like a person instead of a number. I understood from the start that he wanted the best for me. He explained thoroughly what was causing my pain and where it was coming from. He explained with great detail and clarity his intended course of action. He is very confident in his craft, and I had no problem putting my trust in his hand. He is genuine with his care and concern from start to finish. I have told others about the care I received and highly recommended him to others! Because of his skill as a surgeon, I am pain-free, and getting stronger each day. He is the best!

Dr Atlas was amazing. I couldn’t even walk into his office had to use a wheel chair. My lower back pain was off the charts along with the pain down my left leg. He got me into his office ASAP. After I told him two ER visits did nothing. He explained to me what was going on and I needed surgery on my lower spine. He had me admitted to the hospital that day MRI was done which him and his associate Ashly explained in detail what needed to be done had surgery that Thursday. Was a great success no pain rehab went well and I can walk and stand pain free. Best thing for me was the day I meet Dr atlas. Would highly recommend his practice.

My back pain was through the roof! It totally ruined my ability to even stand up some days! My surgery went really well and my pain is gone..Dr Atlas showed the damaged areas and explained the conditions and what to do afterwards as well! Thanks for fixing my back and installing new hardware! I can finally stand tall with minuscule pain! Returned a quality part of my life which was damaged and now I feel great! Thanks Doc..

Dr. Atlas is a very informed surgeon. The ambiance of his office is indicative to his committment to his craft. I recommend him to friends, family and all that will listen

He was very to the point, explained everything to my husband and I before the surgery and we couldn't be happier with the results from the surgery

I met with Dr. Atlas and he assured me that he would be able to help. Went into surgery unable to move, laying my left side for more than two weeks to waking up in the recovery room on my back, pain free. Dr. Atlas and his staff have been simply amazing through this whole ordeal. I have had a few visits to Atlas Spine since the surgery and I have never waited more than a few minutes to see the doctor. Dr. Atlas was very informative about surgery and answered all of my concerns. Its been a few months since the surgery and I'm back to my everyday life. I would recommend Atlas Spine to my family and friends.

A very knowledgeable Dr/surgeon, he was with me and informed me of everything that he will do, Dr Atlas diagnosed my problem when no other Dr could, excellent surgeon I am recovering well, thank-you Dr Atlas.

My life had virtually come to a standstill. Dr Atlas fixed my back which allowed me to start walking and now has fixed my neck which has given me full mobility. I can not say enough about how the treatment was. Anyone who has back or neck pain should contact Dr Atlas. Words are not enough.

Went to Dr Atlas with severe neck/back/leg pain and within one appointment he addressed my issue, and already had a game plan to solve my issue. Within two days of having back surgery, I was back up walking. Excellent staff, service, and great communication, doesn't sugar coat anything

I was in desperate need of back surgery my L4,L5 were pretty serve could barely walk or sit I was reluctant due to my age, not to mention he did not accepting my insurance, he wanted to help me and somehow accepted my insurance and performed the surgery, I received the surgery and I must admit everything the doctor explained would happen did and now I'm ready to return back to the workforce, His bedside manner along with knowledge of the spine provided me with comfort and confidence to go through with the surgery if anyone seeking Orthopedic surgery this is the doctor to see

DR. ATLAS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF EXPLAINING THE PROCEDURE I NEEDED IN A CARING & INFORMATIVE MANNER. SURGERY WENT GREAT & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ATLAS.

I came to Dr. Atlas after months of pain in my lumbar spine from a herniated disc. He performed a microdiscectomy and it relieved my pain! I am now 8 weeks post op and I feel amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone with spinal issues.

Dr Atlas performed a Lumbar Lamenectomy I feel considerably better than when I first visited Dr Atlas.

In the spring of 2021 I experienced a traumatic spinal injury from a fall from a ladder that required extensive surgery. Dr. Orin K. Atlas was the surgeon who reconstructed my spine and it is due to his skill that I have been able to make a full recovery. I cannot say enough as to how fortunate I was to have him perform the operation and recommend him for anyone who requires orthopedic surgery.
