Dr. Jennyfer Chaves

I had the pleasure to be Dr. Choi’s fellow for 6 months in 2021.

He is the most inspiring surgeon I met in my career and an incredible mentor.

During my fellowship, I learned unique and elegant spine techniques such as total disc replacement, OLIF, ALIF, endoscopy, and robot surgery. Moreover, the experience I reward was not only in better understanding of spinal pathologies and how to treat them; I learned how to organize an office, a team, a business, and innovate my knowledge continually. There is much more to spine surgery than the operating room.

Although our exquisite moments were practicing, I had the chance to engage with different brands and work up with them so I could decide which instruments and techniques I want to pursue in my practice.

I believe my time there was extremely important to achieve my goals, especially for example with personal concerns in building my confidence. Dr. Choi constantly motivated me to study and to be no less than high standards. For that, I will always be grateful.
