Dr. Jimenez also treats accident injuries here — whiplash, disc injuries, nerve pain, and the symptoms that tend to appear a couple of days after a crash rather than at the scene.
If that’s your situation, you can speak with Dr. Jimenez by phone within 24 hours before committing to a visit — no referral, and no attorney required.
Neck and back pain that isn’t getting better
Most people who come to this office have been dealing with something for a while — a low back that’s been bad for months, sciatica down one leg, a neck that’s stiff every morning, or numbness in a hand that they’ve been ignoring.
The useful thing about seeing a spine surgeon for this is not that you’ll end up in surgery. Most people don’t. It’s that a surgeon looks at the same MRI differently — and can tell you not just what the report says, but whether it explains your symptoms and what’s actually worth doing about it.
Common reasons people come in:
- Low back pain that hasn’t resolved
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Sciatica, or pain running down a leg
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in a hand or foot
- A herniated disc found on imaging elsewhere
- A surgical recommendation you’d like a second opinion on
Who you’ll see
Dr. Miguel Jimenez, MD — Orthopedic Spine Surgeon
- Orthopedic Surgery Residency — Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota (1996–2000)
- Spine Fellowship — Hospital for Special Surgery, New York (2001–2002)
- 23+ years in practice in Georgia
- Sees patients in English and Spanish
That’s a level of subspecialty training more commonly found in Atlanta than in Northwest Georgia, and it’s the reason a fair number of patients here had been assuming they’d need to travel for it.
Because every visit is by appointment, there is no fixed day you need to catch. Tell us which office is most convenient and we’ll find a time that works.
Second opinions on spine surgery
If someone has told you that you need an operation and you’d like an independent read before agreeing to it, that’s a reasonable thing to want and a common reason people come here.
Dr. Jimenez will look at your imaging and your history and tell you what he thinks — including, frequently, that the problem can be managed without surgery. He performs spine surgery, which is exactly what makes him worth asking about whether you need it.

What patients say
5 out of 5
Dr. Jimenez and his staff were invaluable during a very difficult time. After a car accident injury, Dr. Jimenez provided me the best of care and walked me through all my options related to my injuries and healing process. He also provided crucial assistance regarding the processing of my legal case and kept me informed of updates while providing all necessary information to my attorney. In addition to his outstanding services and patient support, the office is designed to make the patients feel comfortable before or after treatment. Coffee and tea are available and Alondra is incredibly friendly at the desk. I highly recommend this practice and team and can confirm they will provide the support needed in every way.

Dr. Jimenez is a so much experienced doctor. He is always kind to his patients and sincerely takes care of them. I had a shoulder & neck problem after a huge car accident, and they are healed after his treatment. I am glad to have him as my doctor, and strongly recommend visiting him if you got injured.
