Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery

Less disruption. Faster recovery. Lasting relief.

Minimally invasive spinal techniques treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain through small incisions that preserve surrounding muscle and tissue. Compared to traditional open surgery, patients experience significantly less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to daily activity.

Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Restore full shoulder function and eliminate chronic pain

The rotator cuff is the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. When torn or damaged, through injury or wear over time — pain, weakness, and limited range of motion follow. Surgical repair restores shoulder stability and strength, allowing patients to return to normal activity without the limitations of a chronic injury.

ACL Surgery

Rebuild knee stability. Get back to full movement.

The ACL is the primary stabilizing ligament of the knee, commonly torn during sports or high-impact activity. ACL reconstruction replaces the damaged ligament with a graft, restoring knee stability and function. Dr. Garin's team has successfully performed ACL reconstructions on patients from across the U.S. and Canada, with and without graft techniques.

Hip Resurfacing Surgery

Preserve more of your natural bone. Stay active longer.

Hip resurfacing is a bone-conserving alternative to total hip replacement, only the damaged surface of the joint is removed and capped, leaving the femoral head intact. It's particularly well-suited for younger, more active patients who want to maintain a higher level of physical activity post-surgery. Dr. Garin is one of a select few surgeons in Mexico performing this advanced procedure.

Hip Replacement Surgery

Eliminate hip pain and restore your quality of life

Total hip replacement removes the damaged joint and replaces it with a durable prosthetic, relieving chronic pain caused by arthritis, injury, or joint deterioration. It's one of the most effective and commonly performed orthopedic procedures worldwide, with high long-term success rates and a significant improvement in mobility and quality of life.
