About the physician

Every case is evaluated individually — never by protocol.

Dr. Saúl Solorio Pineda, neurocirujano de columna.

Dr. Saúl Solorio Pineda earned his high specialty in Spine Surgery at the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación (UNAM) and completed an AOSpine Surgery Fellowship (Universidade de Caxias do Sul, Brazil). His practice centers on minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery — treating the problem through smaller incisions, with less tissue damage and a faster, safer recovery than conventional surgery.

Surgery is never the default. He starts with an integral, personalized evaluation and chooses the least invasive technique that solves the problem — treating herniated discs, sciatica, lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis and spinal deformities. He cares for national and international patients, with consultations in Spanish and English.

Dr. Saúl Solorio Pineda holds a Doctoralia Certificate of Excellence, with 177 verified patient reviews. Patients most often mention his clear, detailed explanations, treatment efficacy and dedication during the visit.
