Professional and medical interests

Interested in all aspects of spine surgery (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar) with a special interest in spine trauma, spinal cord injuries, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, disc herniations, scoliosis, tumors, and revision surgery.

How did you fall in love with your field?

After my first exposure to spine surgery as a medical student I was enthralled by the breadth of pathology and the wide range in patient population. I enjoy the challenge of going through a patient's history, examination, and imaging findings to determine the best treatment plan, whether that is operative or nonoperative management. In the end, it is a patient population that I enjoy building relationships with while working towards a goal of improving their quality of life.\

Three things people may not know about you:

  • Until recently I believed it was Buzz Lightgear. My 3 year old son taught me it is actually Buzz Lightyear - he's never been more embarrassed of me.
  • Enjoy playing and writing music
  • I met my wife while attending UNK. We have two children, a 5 year-old daughter who just started kindergarten and the above mentioned 3 year-old Toy Story fan.

    Was OK. Saw 4 different people. Had to repeat symptoms several times. Felt like Dr. Gannon could have taken a bit more time to explain the procedure. I felt rushed. Received a subsequent tele-visit to schedule and I still have questions. Will attempt to get them answered after the weekend.

  • Feb 09, 2026

    Dr was a bit casual about my recent traumatic event that led me to seeing him. When I asked him to draw me a picture of what my surgery could look like- he wrote down the words. Didnt offer photo's . So we took pictures of the mri screen. I looked up the terms when I got home.

    Dr Gannon has a very calm, compassionate demeanor. He relates and understands how his services help people. He's an incredible asset to the medical community and I can not say it enough! I met with many surgeons before I chose him and I can say he is an incredible person of integrity, conviction and honesty that was unmatched by the 3 surgeons I visited with before I found him.

    I always appreciate a friendly face. I also appreciate a clean environment. So I'd describe those as good experiences. I would like to see appt times be reached as we did have to wait longer than we would have liked. Just saying...

    Dr Gannon is an amazing human !!

  • Oct 23, 2024

    He showed very little concern for the severe pain I was in and barely acknowledged my questions and concerns. He never updated me on the changes in my surgery either.

  • Oct 17, 2024

    Dr. Gannon is a most remarkable physician, in both technical skills and in his rapport - not only with me, as a patient, but in dealing with my wife. Beyond my personal treatment, Dr. Gannon's courtesy and concern was obvious to his staff, as well.
