Overcoming the Odds: From war on the streets in Louisiana to war on terrorism in Iraq, how I successfully overcame the odds by Antonio Webb, MD
Dr. Antonio Webb is a fellowship trained Spine Surgeon located in San Antonio, Texas who specializes in degenerative, artificial disc replacement, and minimally invasive spine surgery.
Dr. Webb is a highly decorated combat veteran who spent 8 years in the US Air Force as a medic/LVN including a deployment north of Baghdad, Iraq in 2005. His medical training also afforded him the opportunity to operate and perform surgery in Liberia, West Africa, Bangkok, Thailand, and Port Au Prince Haiti.
Dr. Webb completed a combined Neurosurgery/Orthopedic Spine Surgery fellowship at the prestigious Texas Back Institute. TBI was the first practice in America to implant an artificial disc replacement. He took the best practices from all his mentors to formulate his own unique approach to spine care believing that conservative treatment is the ultimate goal, using surgery only as a final and last resort.
