Specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery, Dr. Gabriel is a highly trained orthopedic spine surgeon at Spine Institute of Ohio in Hilliard & a satellite office in Wheelersburg.

Nationally and internationally, he has given multiple presentations and lectures on spine surgery. His research interests include patient outcomes and the biomechanics of the spine. 

Orthopedic surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.
