When Matthew Ray Scott says this is the most interesting surgeon in the world, we have them on The Ortho Show. For the episode, we have spine surgeon Dr. Robert L. Masson, M.D., an internationally recognized neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery and sports spine medicine. As the founder of the Masson Spine Institute, he serves as Medical Director of the Orlando Health Health Central Central Hospital JCAHO accredited Spine Center of Excellence in West Orlando.

Dr. Masson performs surgery at the Masson Spine Institute (MSI) Outpatient Surgery Centers of Excellence in both Orlando, Florida and Park City, Utah, where patients and surgeons travel from all over the world for advanced micro-surgical spine surgery strategies, solutions, techniques, and training.

Topics include:

-Dr. Masson is our first neurosurgeon on The Ortho Show. He is a master marketer who developed a brand that attracts patients to him in a destination center as a sports spine surgeon.

-We discuss how he was inspired to open the Masson Spine Institute to serve his community and how it was a team effort with getting the center's to where they are today.

-We hear about Dr. Masson's holistic 360-degree approach with his patients regarding the entire continuum of spine care.

-Dr. Masson is the proud father of five, and has been married for 30 years. His family celebrates athletics and adventure sports, including as an accomplished prototype racer, finishing second place, along with his son, professional racer Kyle Masson in the 2019 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona with Performance Tech Motorsports.
