Dr. Schuler founded Virginia Spine Institute in 1992 to advance the development of contemporary neurological and orthopaedic spinal surgery. Today his knowledge, leadership, and innovative techniques have revolutionized spinal healthcare and restored the lifestyles of tens of thousands nationwide. Over the past 25 years he has grown this award-winning medical practice into the largest multidisciplinary spinal practice in the region. As the Founder and CEO of Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. Schuler continues to pioneer the latest breakthrough in treatment to overcome back or neck pain. He has expanded his practice to include regenerative therapy, stem cell therapy, robotic spine surgery, ultrasonic spine surgery, and enhanced motion-preserving surgical techniques that benefit patients across the globe. In addition to performing the first hybrid multi-level cervical artificial disc replacement with spinal fusion in the country, he has first-hand experience of this procedure from the patient perspective. After suffering from severe neck pain, disc herniations, and nerve compression, Dr. Schuler underwent a hybrid procedure to treat four levels of his spine and is fully recovered and back to his life, pain free. His experience as a patient, having undergone both neck and low back surgery, affords him the unique ability to better understand his patients emotional and physical needs and the recovery process.

I got the best care possible with Dr. Schuler and his team.

I came to Dr. Schuler after months of back pain and excruciating sciatica. He was very clear, direct and confident in the course of action we needed to take in order to get my life back. He was exactly right and 3 months later, I am pain free and ready to lead the active lifestyle I want!

The minute I met Dr. Schuler, I knew I was in the best hands.

Dr. Schuler has an innate ability to truly listen and clearly explain what he plans to do. I felt I was in the best possible hands with someone who truly cared. I just could not say enough about my experience with VA Spine Institute. The BEST

Gave me my active life back.

Lower spine surgery was successful and many mornings I wake up and think about that when I get out of bed. I can cycle, walk, work around the house for hours at a time. Thanks!

Dr. Schuler is an excellent doctor; I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

From the initial consultation through the post op appointments, Dr. Schuler has provided excellent care. He is remarkably responsive and considerate.

Outstanding staff and doctor!

This is one of the best visits I have ever had with a doctor. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Nguyen is incredible! I've never had a doctor spend so much time explaining my issues before. In addition, Dr. Nguyen is compassionate, listens, and answers all your questions. He gets my absolute highest recommendation!

Good experience overall

Good experience especially considering I was skeptical about surgery leading up what ultimately ended up being the only remaining choice.

Dr Nguyen has been the best Doctor I have seen for almost 15 years now. Id travel from anywhere to k

Dr Nguyen, from my first appointment has shown compassion, professionalism, competence, willingness to go beyond whats expected to help with pain management as well and point me in the right direction as needed for my continued health. In my opinion he is the, if not one of the best pain management Doctors definitely in Northern VA.
I recommend him to everyone I know. I would not have been able to live happily and comfortably the last 15 years . I am incredibly grateful for his continued help. He is always on the cutting edge of new treatments to make sure I receive the most excellent care.
Thanks you!!

I'm free of continuous back pain after living with it for 30 years!

Dr. Nguyen believes that surgery should be the last resort. I had severe continuous back pain in C3-C5. We started with cortisone shots, then radio-frequency ablation, and episiotomies; all worked for a year, then reduced in helpfulness. Finally, rather than fusion surgery, Dr. Nguyen proposed Stem Cell Injections, which was not covered by insurance. It was the best money I've ever spent! It took ~15 months for the stem cells to reach full growth and my pain slowly reduced. Now, I can golf again! I rarely feel any pain at all; only when I overexert myself, and it goes away by the next day. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen!

Exceptional!

Always professional; always willing to review and answer questions; seeks input from patient; provides thoughtful and insightful solutions to chronic, service-connected spine pain. I will not see any other doctor for pain.

The staff is very professional but yet personable.

Dr. Nguyen has allowed me to heal from my 4th surgery at my own pace and hears my input..
