Summary
- Christopher Wilkerson, M.D. is an ABNS Board Eligible Spine-Fellowship trained Neurosurgeon. He joined Neurosurgical Associates from the University of Utah where he completed his residency and fellowship. He specializes in treating the wide spectrum of surgical spine disease, ranging from large complex multidisciplinary surgeries to minimally invasive outpatient procedures.
Dr. Wilkerson’s clinical vision is providing his patients an avenue to return to their active lives in the least disruptive manner possible. His research interests are in spine biomechanics and trauma.
He grew up in Texas but was a frequent visitor to the Rocky Mountains where he developed a love for the Western region. When he is not treating patients, he enjoys exploring the Intermountain West on his skis and mountain bike, and hiking with his Golden Retriever, Winston.
