DR. DEJAN SLAVNIĆ, DO, FAANS
Dr. Dejan Slavnic is a board-certified neurosurgeon (ABNS) specializing in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery, with 12 years of experience in neurosurgery and minimally invasive spine care. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences from Northeastern Illinois University and his medical degree from Midwestern University, then completed his neurosurgical training at Michigan State University, where he developed expertise in advanced and robotic spine techniques.
Dr. Slavnic also brings significant experience in the medico-legal aspects of spine and neurosurgical care, working alongside attorneys on personal injury cases that require clear, well-documented medical evaluation.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Slavnic has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications, several of which have earned national recognition, including the Mayfield Award.
What sets Dr. Slavnic apart is his approach to care. He believes the most important part of medicine starts with listening — taking the time to understand each patient's story, concerns, and goals. He focuses on thoughtful, individualized treatment plans and often recommends non-surgical options first, guiding patients with honesty every step of the way. When surgery is needed, his goal is always the best possible outcome with the least disruption to daily life.
At his core, Dr. Slavnic treats every patient the way he would treat his own family — with compassion, respect, and clear communication.
