Dr. Schuler founded Virginia Spine Institute in 1992 to advance the development of contemporary neurological and orthopaedic spinal surgery. Today his knowledge, leadership, and innovative techniques have revolutionized spinal healthcare and restored the lifestyles of tens of thousands nationwide. Over the past 25 years he has grown this award-winning medical practice into the largest multidisciplinary spinal practice in the region. As the Founder and CEO of Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. Schuler continues to pioneer the latest breakthrough in treatment to overcome back or neck pain. He has expanded his practice to include regenerative therapy, stem cell therapy, robotic spine surgery, ultrasonic spine surgery, and enhanced motion-preserving surgical techniques that benefit patients across the globe. In addition to performing the first hybrid multi-level cervical artificial disc replacement with spinal fusion in the country, he has first-hand experience of this procedure from the patient perspective. After suffering from severe neck pain, disc herniations, and nerve compression, Dr. Schuler underwent a hybrid procedure to treat four levels of his spine and is fully recovered and back to his life, pain free. His experience as a patient, having undergone both neck and low back surgery, affords him the unique ability to better understand his patients emotional and physical needs and the recovery process.

Extremely satisfied with Dr Schuler and his staff.

I found everyone open and honest about my condition. Their willingness to listen exceeded my expectations. They explain everything to you and answer all questions until you are comfortable. My overall live is better because of him and his staff.

Disc replacement and front plate

Wonderful. A little time consuming, due to the travel time. Would do it again.

Dr Nguyen has been the best Doctor I have seen for almost 15 years now. Id travel from anywhere to k

Dr Nguyen, from my first appointment has shown compassion, professionalism, competence, willingness to go beyond whats expected to help with pain management as well and point me in the right direction as needed for my continued health. In my opinion he is the, if not one of the best pain management Doctors definitely in Northern VA.
I recommend him to everyone I know. I would not have been able to live happily and comfortably the last 15 years . I am incredibly grateful for his continued help. He is always on the cutting edge of new treatments to make sure I receive the most excellent care.
Thanks you!!

Dr. Schuler is an excellent doctor; I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

From the initial consultation through the post op appointments, Dr. Schuler has provided excellent care. He is remarkably responsive and considerate.

very effective

Diagnosed the problem correctly. Surgery was not overly invasive and was very effective. Dr Schuler was friendly and easy to talk with.

Very caring and personable. Excellent in his area and instills confidence.

Very positive experience. I have been suffering from back issues for 4 years and had to do a fusion surgery eventually. My recovery has been fantastic and I am able to do activities I have not been able to do for years.

The practice is run extremely well and the integrated care from physical therapy, to pain management, to surgery is very helpful for the patient.

Dr. Nguyen is responsive, concise, and a compassionate listener, who retains pertinent details from

Dr. Nguyen provided, and continues to provide, continuity of care, considering outside references, and quality of life. Over the years of collaborative treatment with Dr. Nguyen, his willingness to consider a wide range of non-surgical treatment options has kept me mobile and enjoying what I love to do, which is travel and precious time with family. He is open to discussing differences of opinions and desired outcomes.

Top Notch

I've seen 5 different neurosurgeons over the course of nearly a decade with no relief prior to seeing Dr. Schuler. I drive about 6 hours to come to these appointments because Dr. Schuler is a miracle worker. He is thorough, competent, and his intervention for me worked. I am thankful that I found Dr. Schuler.

Superior team and the knowledge is remarkable!

Dr Schuler and his team are remarkable and a God send! They have given me my life back. After having two ruptured disc and a broken back they have fixed me completely and I'm pain free and able to do anything that I chose to do. I recommend doctor Schuler and his team to everyone that I know who is having spinal issues. They are the best in the business!

A real Pro!

I couldn't be happier with VA Spine Institute. They are real pros and delivered what was promised. Anyone with back issues should go see them and get a consultation.
