			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Mandigo earned his medical doctorate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons where he graduated Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his Neurological Surgery Internship, Residency and Chief Residency at the Neurological Institute of New York, Columbia University.</p>
<p>Dr. Mandigo&#8217;s practice is devoted to spinal deformity, degenerative spine disease, interveterbral disc disease, spinal column tumors, spinal cord tumors, brain tumors, skull base tumors, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, pituitary tumors, microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and cerebral aneurysm treatment.</p>
<p>Dr. Mandigo uses minimally invasive techniques for spinal surgery including the use of narrow tube retractor systems for cervical and lumbar microdiscectomy and spinal fusion. He also has expertise in artificial disc replacement surgery in the cervical spine. He has particular expertise evaluating and, if required, treating disorders of spinal alignment such as scoliosis or sagittal imbalance.</p>
<p>He also uses state-of-the-art technology such as frameless image guidance systems and stereotactic radiosurgery (i.e. BrainLab, GammaKnife, Tomotherapy) for the treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors.</p>
<p>Dr. Mandigo helps direct our Lenox Hill Hospital practice based in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. His main offices are at Lenox Hill Hospital and in the Columbia Presbyterian Eastside building located on the southwest corner of Madison Avenue and East 60<sup>th</sup> Street.</p>
