Description

Specialties

The Southern California Spine Institute’s team works together to ensure the most efficient, individualized care. The team includes physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurosurgical and orthopedic spine specialists, as well as pain management specialists who work together in an integrated manner to develop a treatment plan emphasizing conservative care. Each individualized plan is designed to help restore maximum function, relieve pain, and prevent recurring injuries.

History

Established in 1996.

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Armstrong, the Southern California Spine Institute (SCSI) offers a multidisciplinary approach to spine care, where the whole patient is looked at, their lifestyle, as well as the specific spine problem. First, the anatomy of the problem is defined and then a comprehensive, conservative approach is emphasized. Through our network of conservative management experts that includes chiropractic, physical therapist, pain management, specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), we endeavor to use surgery as the court of last resort. If the condition will only respond to surgical procedures, SCSI offers the latest minimally invasive techniques as well as major spinal reconstruction, including artificial discs. Dr. Armstrong is a board-​certified neurosurgeon who has received additional fellowship training in spinal surgery. As one of the top spinal surgeons in Southern California, he is the medical director of SCSI.

I had lumbar fusion surgery with Dr. Armstrong. This procedure is extremely complicated and painful but he did an incredible job. He’s very gifted and cares a lot about his patients. I was in pain for years but now because of him and his assistant Alexandra I’m on my way to a full recovery. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Armstrong and his entire staff are amazing. I cannot say enough good things about them. He operated on my back in 2010 and both pre-​op and aftercare was the greatest. I have been «good as new» since the surgery.
I still feel close to everyone in his office. Alexandra, the PA is first rate in her own ability and exceedingly competent and patient with all questions.
There is a large amount of integrity in this office and I absolutely trust them 100%.
In fact, recently I have developed some neck issues and there was no one else I even considered to look into the problem other than Dr. Armstrong. My surgery is scheduled soon. I’m a tiny bit nervous but I am completely confident that I have the absolute best surgeon there is.
As Patricia one of his beautiful schedulers said when we were joking about him «he’s got your back». And I said, he IS boss of my spine!

Dr. Armstrong: Very compassionate, talks to you in understandable language. Performed an 8 hr. surgery on me. (Laminectomy w/​fusion L5-​S1) Jan 27, 2015
Follow up: Terrible. I saw him 3X pre surgery (1 being the day of) and post op– 1X — he happen to see me in the room and he came in to chat with me. I am having major issues with my back, MRI’s done and nothing obvious (thank god) but… the pain is worse than before I went in. I see his PA, and although she is nice, I don’t feel compassion from her, nor do I feel like she believes my pain level, I walk out feeling like she feels I am over re-​acting. I’M NOT, trust me. It’s very frustrating when you want to see the Dr. and can’t. It’s very frustrating to live with this pain and not be given any answers or even compassion. I understand there is very little they ccan do given the MRI’s look good, but just tell me, that this will be my life from now on so I can learn how to deal! The un known is the worst. Shooting pain from the inside out, 100% of the time dull, achy pain, at times worse than others, driving is a living nightmare, and sitting, standing for any length of time is un heard of, anymore. Do I blame Dr. Armstrong? Nope, I don’t, at all. He did the best he could, this post is completely about the follow up, and the lack of compassion.

I saw a number of surgeons before Dr. Armstrong. I decided to have him do my spinal fusion for a few reasons: 1) With me being a very active runner and mountain biker, it was important to him that we look at surgery as a last option, knowing that a fusion likely meant my lifestyle would need to be somewhat altered after this type of surgery. 2) He took the time to thoroughly explain my injury, the surgery, and the rehab involved afterwards (on a holiday weekend, no less). 3) Where every other doctor made me feel silly for caring about what the scar would look like, he understood. When everyone else said, «Who cares? You’re married. Your middle-​aged, etc.», I CARED. Its taken years of hard work and self-​discipline to get my body like this, so, of course, I cared!
It was a very long surgery. Post-​op day 1, dr was very busy with surgeries, but came to see me around 9:00pm. He explained everything he found, some of it completely unexpected. He had already gathered feedback on my progress from everyone id seen post surgery. Then, he told my husband and me that he was honored to have been my surgeon! Talk about a humble human! Also, his office staff in TO and in Culver City were so helpful with all the paperwork and insurance. I recommend him to anyone who is unsure of the direction they want to do!

He is simply the worst. After surgery, I saw him for 30 seconds. Period. I was complaining of right side cramping of my back, after surgery. So they sent me to get a neck mri. I’ve had nothing but problems since the surgery. I’ve since switched surgeons and the difference is like night and day. And my new surgeons staff makes your mri appts for you. And let’s not forget, he works out of Brotman hospital. The dirtiest hospital in the world. If you need back surgery done right, this is not the doctor for you. Or anyone, for that matter.

I’m not the type of person that likes surgery but I have had the worse pain in my back due to bad discs. What a difference in pain. There is almost none. Dr Armstrong is the best. I have gone to another spine institute and that doctor just kept pushing me back to a pain specialist, which was just not helping. Surgery was definitely a must. Dr. Armstrong explained the process very clearly and he made sure I understood what the surgery entailed and he listened to my concerns. His office staff along with his physician assistant Alexandria, were outstanding. If anyone needs spine surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Ian Armstrong. He is absolutely wonderful. He really cares about his patients and has concern for their well being. I am just a couple of weeks out from surgery and I can already tell, that the decision to see Dr. Ian Armstrong was the best decision. Thank you Dr. Armstrong and your staff for such a great experience for such a serious operation. You all are fantastic!!!

I am a physician myself (emergency medicine) and know a thing or two about patient care. I saw Dr. Armstrong for treatment of a synovial cyst compressing my L5 nerve root. I had already tried aspiration of the cyst and an epidural block without much success.
I can say I was very impressed throughout the entire process. Dr. Armstrong took the time to hear me out, reviewed the MRI with me and discussed my options. He explained his philosophy of less invasive treatment often being the best option. He was very knowledgable about the various micro-​surgical techniques (again I talk to neurosurgeons all the time so I have some experience with this). When we eventually decided to proceed with surgery I was operated on the very next day. Recovery has been uneventful (that’s a good thing).
I also can’t say enough about Alexandra Mychaliska, Dr. Armstrong’s Physician Assistant. She has been available by phone throughout and seems genuinely concerned about my overall well-​being and getting back to an active lifestyle. Likewise, I found Dr. Armstrong’s office staff very helpful and responsive, going the extra mile to make sure appointments were made, and that my insurance company (a tight-​fisted HMO) behaved.
My experience post-​op has been just as pleasant and professional. For both surgical expertise and a smooth-​running office, 5 stars!

I was referred to Dr. Armstrong by 3 separate past patients before setting up an appointment with him as a 3rd opinion on my progressive lumbar spinal stenosis problem. The doctor is very thorough and a much better listener than my 2 previous back specialists. His more conservative approach to try less invasive treatments first before exploring later the newest and best more invasive treatments is the right path to an improved quality of life.
My experiences continue to be very comfortable. Waiting time during an appointment has been very short. The doctor’s staff and associate Dr. Krell have been a responsive asset on providing the evaluation reports needed to maintain my insurance coverage. My rating above includes my whole experience with the doctor and his practice.
