About
Dr. McPherson
Dr. McPherson is an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon. He is originally from Canada and completed his orthopedic surgery residency and medical school at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada. He completed a fellowship in spine surgery in 2000 at the University of Western Ontario in London Canada.
He completed a second spine fellowship in Nottingham England as an AO Foundation Fellow in 2001. He has lived in the Denver area for over 20 years. He specializes in spine surgery and the treatment of disorders of the spine. He has served as the Medical Director at the Musculoskeletal Center in Thorton. He was also chair of the Department of Orthopedics at North Suburban Medical Center.
He volunteered at Denver Health and held an appointment at the University of Colorado. Dr. McPherson specializes in MySpine technology. These are patient specific guides that allow for a smaller incision, less surgical exposure, and greater accuracy in the placement of fixation for patients requiring a low back fusion. This has allowed patients to avoid a lengthy hospital stay and to go home within 23 hours and even the same day.
He also strongly believes in motion preservation and use of disc replacements whenever possible for the treatment of cervical (neck) spine disorders.

I am going on 2 years after Dr. McPherson preformed a decompression on bone spurs between L3,4,5 and it is amazing! I was very worried about what would happen, but he explained everything and did actually what he had explained, not like alot of other doctors, who do not take the time to explain procedures. The recovery was fantastic and my life has improved so much I am out fly-fishing and hiking with NO pain! Great job! Thank you every day!
Dr. McPherson gave a thorough explanation of the procedure and recovery as well as keeping my wife informed. The surgery was accomplished without any complications. My post surgery follow-up appointments were positively conducted and I was released from restrictions on the 90 day visit. Symptoms are gone and I am rapidly getting back into my normal pre surgery activities. Thank you McPherson Team!
Dr. McPherson gave me my life back. After 30 years of chronic back pain, I finally had my L4-S1 spinal fusion. I only wish I had done it years ago. He is thorough, listens, is professional and gave me the best options for treatment. I am 6 months post surgery and could not be happier. I would definitely recommend him!
