Dr. Harrop is a neurological surgeon who treats neurologic diseases and specializes in the complete surgical management of spine disorders. This includes common conditions like degenerative disc disease (e.g., scoliosis, disc herniations, spinal stenosis), to rarer ones, such as traumatic spinal cord injury and tumors within the spinal cord and canal. Dr. Harrop did a fellowship in Orthopedic and Neurosurgery Spine. He is the Neurologic director of the Delaware Valley SCI center. Recently, he has spearheaded the creation of Jefferson’s Comprehensive Spine Unit. This model, an innovative collaboration between Orthopedic Surgery and Neurological Surgery, was designed to provide patients with care supported by the most recent literature emerging from both fields. This has allowed the team to decrease the amount of time people spend away from home after spine surgery and shorten their course of rehabilitation. This interest in quality and improved care resulted in him further training and receiving his Masters in Quality Improvement and Patient Care.
