We’re here with never-before-seen precision in spine surgery
Roberta Jimenez, 65, has been apprehensive about considering spine surgery, even though her pain was unrelenting. The misconceptions and fears of spine surgery weighed heavily on her. Her daughter researched ExcelsiusGPS® — an advanced technology improving surgical accuracy, patient safety and outcomes. MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center offers expert care and advanced technologies on par with the most elite hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. It is one of the few hospitals in the region with ExcelsiusGPS technology which is why Roberta’s daughter encouraged her to go for a consultation with the Spine Center team.
Our Spine Center uses a multi-disciplinary approach for elective neck and back surgery. Using expert evaluation and diagnosis, patients who are ready to consider more permanent solutions to their pain, receive a customized treatment plan that is unique to their needs to help them get back to work and play. Why travel long distances when the future of spine care is here?

- ExcelsiusGPS creates a surgical plan based on a patient’s unique anatomy, guiding the robotic arm to a specific region of your spine, similar to a planned pathway on GPS. Our expert team of surgeons uses this pathway to accurately conduct spine surgery with the utmost precision resulting in the best outcomes to get you back on your feet again.
- O-arm™ Surgical Imaging System is a platform designed for use in spine surgeries. It gives our spine surgeons the ability to increase their precision during surgery since it shows both 2D and 3D image structures of the spine in the operating room on a computer screen with amazing accuracy. The O-arm is an integral tool for the surgical team that enhances the best patient outcomes.
Pairing advanced technologies with our expert physician partners results in Long Beach Medical Center delivering the best surgical outcomes to our patients.
