Dr. Robert McLain, MD, a St Vincent Charity Medical Center Spine Surgeon and long-time Cleveland medical leader, has three practice venues to provide the very best of spine surgery care, with greater convenience, to patients throughout the Cleveland and Northeast Ohio area. 

Dr. McLain's expertise in complex back and neck surgery, including artificial disc replacements for the neck and back, sacroiliac fusions for SI joint pain, minimally invasive surgery for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal segments, and state-of-the-art techniques of fusion and reconstruction, gives him the very best chance to help you with any complex spinal disorder.

Dr. McLain offers appointments at the Solon, Ohio office of the Spine and Orthopaedic Institute of St Vincent Medical Center, the Medical Office Building at St Vincent's Cleveland Campus, and a new office in Warren, Ohio. 

Conveniently located on Solon Road, the Solon office brings top-tier Spine Care and Orthopaedic Surgical practice from the heart of Cleveland to the doorstep of East-side Clevelanders.  For those living downtown or on the West-side, the St Vincent Medical Office offers easy access, adjacent to the main hospital itself.  And, for those in the Youngstown/ Warren area (and points east) office appointments are available at the Ohio Pain and Rehabilitation Center in Howland.

Our Solon Office offers:

Spine Surgery

Among the most demanding surgical specialties practiced today, the best care for neck and back pain requires expert training and years of experience.  
Our comprehensive program offers careful diagnostic evaluation, a full range of preoperative back care therapies, provided by experts in pain management and physical therapy, including access to  manipulative care, acupuncture, and injection therapy. 
Surgical treatments for neck, back, sacroiliac disease, including complex disorders such as spinal deformity and failed back syndrome, are all available through Dr. McLain's office, using the most cutting-edge and proven techniques available. 

Orthopedics and Total Joint Replacement

The Spine and Orthopaedic Institute provides world-class care in spine surgery, and in all varieties of bone and joint disease.
Care for the back patient includes care for all of the bones and joints.  Not only do problems with the hips and knees, shoulders and feet develop around the same time and with the same injuries that affect the back, but problems involving these joints often aggravate back and neck problems that may bring you to see the Spine surgeon.  If you need care for any orthopaedic problem, let our doctors give you the best care available.

Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care 

Physical fitness and restoration of muscle tone and balance play a crucial role in keeping our bones, joints, back and neck fit and pain free.  Once we've suffered an injury or had surgery, restoring fitness and retraining the muscles and tissues is even more important.  Our offices in the Solon Physicians Center offer full service physical therapy, including assessment and treatment planning, just across the hall from your Orthopaedic doctor.
Chiropractic therapy, which emphasizes hands-on care of back and musculoskeletal injuries, sometimes with manipulation, and other times with therapies that sooth and relieve pain, is provided by expert doctors at our Solon, Cleveland, and Howland offices. What could be more convenient?.
