A Vision for the Future of Spine Care

At Excel Neurosurgery & Spine, we believe that the highest level of surgical precision should be matched by an equally high level of personal attention. Our practice was founded on the principle that patients shouldn’t have to choose between a world-class academic surgeon and a doctor who actually knows their name.

By combining our backgrounds in complex spine surgery, biomechanics, and medical innovation, we have developed the LASER philosophy—a commitment to ultra-minimally invasive techniques that prioritize your recovery and long-term mobility. We operate on a concierge model because we refuse to let insurance red tape or hospital bureaucracy dictate the speed or quality of your care.

When you walk through our doors, you aren’t just a case number; you are a partner in a journey toward a pain-free life. Whether you are seeking a solution for a complex deformity or an elective endoscopic procedure to get back to the golf course, we are here to provide the direct access, expert guidance, and transformative results you deserve.

Welcome to a higher standard of spine care.

Meet Dr. Dales

Kevin J. Dales, DO

 

Interventional Pain Medicine

Dr. Kevin Dales is a fellowship-trained interventional pain physician who helps patients find lasting relief from spine and musculoskeletal pain through targeted, minimally invasive treatment. His approach combines precise procedural skill with the whole-person philosophy of osteopathic medicine, focusing first on understanding the true source of each patient’s pain, then building a plan that restores function and quality of life.


Dr. Dales brings an exceptionally broad clinical foundation to pain care. Before specializing in interventional pain, he completed residency in Emergency Medicine at Riverside University Health System in Moreno Valley, California, then practiced as an emergency physician at hospitals throughout Southern California — experience that sharpened his ability to evaluate complex cases quickly and recognize when pain signals something more serious. He went on to complete a fellowship in Interventional Pain Medicine at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.


He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Touro University California College of Osteopathic Medicine, a Master of Science in Medical Genetics and Genomics from Tulane University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Dales remains active in advancing the field of pain medicine. Having grown up in Orange County, Dr. Dales is proud to return home to practice pain medicine and serve the community that helped shape him.

At Excel Neurosurgery & Spine, Dr. Dales works alongside the practice’s surgical team to give patients a full continuum of care — from conservative and interventional treatment to surgical evaluation when needed.
