About Philip J. York MD

A Colorado native, Dr. York moved to California to attend Vestment College in Santa Barbara where he obtained a degree in Psychology. He then on to the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine where he graduated from medical school at the top of his class with High Honors. Dr. York then returned to the Centennial State for his medical residency at the University of Colorado where he received numerous awards including the James Miles award for Top Resident Research. From there, he completed a specialized fellowship program in spine surgery at the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.

Dr. York’s clinical and research interests include minimally invasive and robotic spine surgery as well as endoscopic approaches to the spine. His commitment to minimally invasive spine surgery allows patients a faster recovery and improved outcomes. His passion for conservative treatments drove him to seek out training in ultrasound injections and regenerative approaches of both spinal and peripheral orthopaedic pathologies. This allows him to have unbiased conversations regarding surgical and nonsurgical treatments of various issues.

During his career, Dr. York has been involved in numerous research studies and has published over 28 journal articles on spine conditions and treatments.

Dr. York understands that no two patients are the same, which is why he firmly believes in a team mentality when it comes to a patient’s spine condition. 

“Your specific goals and expectations are important and I believe that nonsurgical options in the treatment of neck or back pain are important and effective. However, when it comes to surgery, I enjoy discussing the surgical options including traditional and minimally invasive methods depending on individualized factors. My desire is for my patients to be actively involved in their spine health and to work closely in achieving their goals.”

When Dr. York is not in clinic, he enjoys spending time with his wife, two daughters and son. He loves all the outdoor access that Colorado affords.
