As a fellowship trained spine surgeon, I believe the most important recipe for successful outcome in spine surgery is a good relationship between the patient and their surgeon. Spine surgery is complex and can be understandably very daunting to patients., My job is not only to treat patients with various spinal diseases, but also to create bonds with my patients that last a lifetime.
During my fellowship, I became highly trained in minimally invasive spine surgery, robotic spine surgery, adult deformity surgery, as well as the treatment of numerous spinal pathologies including spinal trauma and spinal tumors. Although performing surgery brings me joy, the best part of my job is seeing a cane- or wheelchair-bound patient walk without any assistance into my clinic at post-surgical follow-up and hearing them say that they are back to living their life. That is what gets me up in the morning and that is why I chose this field; to build a relationship with my patients and work together to deliver to them the best possible care.
I was born and raised in Ghana. At the age of 13, my family immigrated to the United States and settled in The Bronx, New York. I received my undergraduate education at SUNY at Albany and subsequently obtained my medical degree at Albany Medical College. I completed my neurosurgery residency at the University at Buffalo Neurosurgery Program. During residency, I completed the CAST-accredited Complex Spine Fellowship at University at Buffalo Neurosurgery.
My other areas of interest include clinical spine research and the socioeconomic aspects of neurosurgery, like mission trips to help the less fortunate.
During my leisure, I enjoy exercising, cooking, watching movies and spending time with my beautiful family.

“Dr. Justice Owusu-Agyei took roughly 45 minutes to explain to me and my wife what issues I've been having. He explained in detail to where I understood completely. We discussed a plan and I fully trust his plan to help me get better. He Is very polite and respectful. He's also professional and extremely knowledgeable on what he does.”

“Justice Owusu-Agyei was amazing. I did wait a little in the exam room, but he spend a lot of time with me which I appreciated because we were talking about the possibility of back surgery. His knowledge, advice, and straightforward communication was incredible. Worth the wait and I suspect it was because he spent more time with others, which is how it should be. I understand any business has efficiency metrics, but when it comes to health it should not be only a numbers game of how many people you can get through in a day. I understand it must be a balance to give good medical care in addition to being efficient so the patients don't have to wait weeks for an appointment either. I was very impressed and would recommend Dr. Owusu-Agyei to anyone that would listen!”
