Dr. Madom cares for a wide variety of conditions related to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, including pain that originates in the neck or back and radiates to the arms or legs. He offers a comprehensive range of non-operative and operative treatments for spine-related conditions.
His approach to patient care is rooted in understanding each patient’s goals, motivations, and quality-of-life concerns. He believes spine surgery should always be a final option after non-operative treatments have been thoroughly explored. When surgery is appropriate due to persistent symptoms or neurologic impairment, he provides tailored, comprehensive surgical care. In addition to his clinical practice, he consults for Stryker Spine, teaching at national courses and contributing to industry education.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, Lindsay, and their four children. Their family activities include skiing, cycling, sculling, running, kayaking, and participating in St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraising events.

When we try a new sport, we .....
