Adan M. Omar

Adan Omar, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon with a strong connection to the Twin Cities region. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at the University of Rochester. Dr. Omar’s desire to learn how to surgically treat the full spectrum of spinal disorders led him to complete his fellowship in minimally invasive and complex spinal disorders at the Mayo Clinic, in order to gain expertise in treating a wide range of spine pathology and performing a comprehensive array of surgical techniques, including anterior and posterior decompression, instrumentation, microsurgery, and minimally invasive surgery at all levels of the spine whenever appropriate. He performs motion-preserving surgeries, such as disc replacements, cervical laminoplasty and uses muscle-preserving surgical techniques.

Dr. Omar believes that each patient’s pain is uniquely different. While there are many issues that back and neck pain have in common, everyone has their own journey. He is passionate about getting to know each of his patients individually and developing a treatment plan together to get them back to doing the activities they love. Treatment options are tailored to each individual, using a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach including physical therapist and pain management physicians to provide personalized care to each patient. Prior to any considerations for surgery, Dr. Omar will explore all the options available to address your back pain, providing a thorough assessment and evaluation. The goal is to provide long-term improvement of your symptoms by minimizing your risks.
