As a neurosurgeon at Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates (CNSA), Vincent J. Rossi, MD, MBA is a minimally invasive spine surgeon with clinical interests in endoscopy, cervical foraminotomy, motion preservation (including cervical and lumbar artificial disc and facet replacement), and robotic spine surgery. Dr. Rossi has a rich family history in healthcare, a philosophy centered on minimally invasive care, and a commitment to patient well-being.

For Dr. Rossi, becoming a doctor was a personal choice and a continuation of a family legacy. Growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, Dr. Rossi was immersed in the world of medicine from a young age.

Dr. Rossi's philosophy of care revolves around using the least invasive methods to help patients regain their desired quality of life. Focusing on motion preservation, he emphasizes non-fusion techniques such as endoscopic spine surgery and disc replacement. These procedures are often performed outpatient, meaning the patient goes home the same day of surgery. By leveraging advanced minimally invasive techniques learned during international training, Dr. Rossi ensures his patients benefit from the latest advancements in the field.

As an invited speaker at national and international conferences, he shares his expertise on advanced minimally invasive spine techniques.

Putting patient care first is the guiding principle for Dr. Rossi. He firmly believes in treating the patient, not just the X-ray or the condition. Patients visiting CNSA are welcomed into a compassionate environment where their unique circumstances are thoroughly understood. Dr. Rossi and his team take the time to listen, ensuring that each patient remains in control of their care. The focus is on formulating a personalized treatment plan that aligns with the patient's goals and helps restore their quality of life.

Dr. Rossi is proud to be a part of CNSA, an organization with a history of over 60 years in neurological disease care. When patients choose CNSA, they benefit from the collective expertise of a team of elite providers and employees dedicated to delivering exceptional care. Collaboration and a shared commitment to patient well-being ensure that every patient receives comprehensive and integrated treatment.

Dr. Rossi's interests extend beyond medicine. He is an avid specialty coffee drinker, having explored various coffee cultures around the world. Dr. Rossi's passion for coffee takes him on journeys from Costa Rica to Australia, Korea to Thailand, and Spain.
