Dr. Enguidanos is the regional destination for complex deformity, revision spine surgery, and cases other surgeons decline. Direct referral line: (850) 729-1444.
Dr. Stephen T. Enguidanos completed a dedicated spinal deformity fellowship at the University of Colorado Spine Center under Dr. Thomas Lowe — the former president of the Scoliosis Research Society. He has spent thirty years building a practice focused on the cases that require the highest level of surgical expertise.
He serves as Vice Chief of Staff and Past Chief of Surgery at HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital in Niceville, Florida. He receives referrals from spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and primary care physicians throughout the Florida Panhandle and Gulf Coast for complex deformity, revision surgery, and cases that fall outside the typical scope of a general spine practice.
If you have a patient whose case exceeds what you treat — or whom you believe needs a second opinion from a fellowship-trained deformity specialist — Dr. Enguidanos welcomes the referral.

Dr. Enguidanos accepts referrals across the full spectrum of spine pathology but is particularly sought for the following case types.
DEFORMITY
Curves requiring surgical correction, multilevel deformity, and cases where curve magnitude or complexity exceeds what a general spine surgeon typically addresses.
DEFORMITY
Scheuermann's kyphosis, post-surgical flatback deformity, and sagittal imbalance requiring osteotomy and comprehensive realignment.
REVISION
Hardware failure, pseudarthrosis, adjacent segment disease, wrong-level surgery, and post-surgical deformity. Revision spine surgery is a primary focus of this practice.
COMPLEX
Complex multilevel degenerative disease with associated deformity, instability, or stenosis requiring comprehensive surgical planning beyond routine decompression or short fusion.
CONGENITAL
Hemivertebrae, congenital scoliosis, and complex pediatric deformity requiring specialist evaluation and well-timed surgical intervention.
SECOND OPINION
Patients who have received a surgical recommendation they are uncertain about, or whose imaging complexity warrants an independent fellowship-level evaluation.
We make the referral process as straightforward as possible. Most urgent cases can be seen within one to two business days.

Call (850) 729-1444 or fax referral information to (850) 729-0300. For urgent cases, call directly and identify yourself as a referring physician — urgent cases are prioritized.

Our team will contact the patient directly to schedule within your requested timeframe. We will confirm the appointment with your office and keep you updated on the patient's care.

A full consultation note and surgical plan will be sent to your office following the evaluation. We maintain open communication with referring physicians throughout the patient's care.
Fill out the form and our team will contact the patient within one business day. For urgent referrals please call directly at (850) 729-1444.
For patients with progressive neurological deficits, cauda equina symptoms, or acute instability requiring same-week or next-day evaluation, call us directly and identify the urgency.
