H. Gregory Frankel - New Jersey Brain and Spine

Dr. Frankel specializes in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery. Following a neurosurgical internship and residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, he obtained a fellowship in Complex and Reconstructive Spine Surgery with a focus on spinal deformity and revision surgery. 

Medicine is personal to him. Motivated to pursue a career in the healing arts after witnessing his mom suffer a major Multiple Sclerosis attack, Dr. Frankel strives to care for others with the same blend of compassion and expertise as he would his own family. 

A New Jersey native, Dr. Frankel was born and raised in Livingston, where he and his family are delighted to return as they start the next chapter of their lives. As a new member of the New Jersey Brain and Spine family, he plans to launch a Spinal Deformity program that serves the communities in and around Northern New Jersey.

Dr. Frankel is devoted to advancing neurosurgical knowledge among his colleagues and peers. He has a particular interest in spinal deformity, computer-assisted navigation in spinal fusions, minimally invasive spine surgery, as well as resident and medical student education. While in residency, Dr. Frankel worked to help develop a resident curriculum for training on a spinal surgery simulator and regularly worked in the skull base lab teaching junior residents and medical students. He has been published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals and his work has been presented at multiple national conferences.
