David G. Ferachi, M.D.

Dr. David Ferachi is an orthopaedic spine surgeon at the Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic, where he specializes in adult spine surgery and the treatment of back and neck pain. He sees patients at the clinic's Bluebonnet campus in Baton Rouge and its Hammond campus.

Dr. Ferachi earned his Doctor of Medicine at the Tulane University School of Medicine and completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery in Tulane's Department of Orthopaedics. He then completed a fellowship in spine surgery at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, gaining advanced training in minimally invasive and complex spinal surgery.

His practice covers the full spectrum of adult spine care: herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, cervical myelopathy, compression fractures, adult scoliosis and spine trauma. Dr. Ferachi offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and nonsurgical treatment, and when surgery is warranted, performs procedures including minimally invasive spinal fusion, microendoscopic discectomy, percutaneous spinal instrumentation, ACDF, lumbar decompression and kyphoplasty.

Philosophy of care

Dr. Ferachi believes the best spine surgeons are also the most careful about recommending surgery. Every plan starts with an accurate diagnosis and a conservative approach. When an operation is the right choice, he favors the least invasive technique that will provide a durable result, and takes time to make sure patients understand their options, risks and recovery.
