Dr. Kaveh Khajavi recently co-founded the Institute for Neurosurgical and Spinal Research Foundation, a scientific research organization designed to facilitate research collaborations among minimally invasive spine surgeons. The foundation also collaborates with other spine surgeons participating in data collection and research, with studies focusing on clinical outcomes and comparative effectiveness for minimally invasive procedures and emerging technologies. Georgia Spine and Neurosurgery Center itself has been collecting outcomes since 2003 and has more than 1,000 patients in its prospective registry.
