At NU-Spine: The Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Institute, our mission has always been simple: to provide world-class spinal care that helps our patients get back to the lives they love. Today, we are incredibly proud to share that this commitment has been recognized on a grand scale. Dr. Branko Skovrlj has been officially named the Best of 2026 Business Rate winner for neurosurgery in Toms River, New Jersey.
This prestigious Crystal Award Plaque isn’t just a trophy for the office; it is a reflection of the trust, recovery stories, and positive outcomes shared by our patients across the community.
A Patient-First Approach to Neurosurgery
What makes the Business Rate award unique is that it is powered by Google Reviews. This means the recognition comes directly from the people who matter most—the patients. In a field as complex and sensitive as neurosurgery, trust is everything. Whether it is a neighbor from Toms River finding relief from chronic back pain or a professional athlete seeking a return to peak performance, Dr. Skovrlj’s approach remains the same: treat the person, not just the scan.
A Growing Legacy: New Surgeons and New Frontiers
The “Best of Toms River” award comes at a pivotal time for NU-Spine. We are currently undergoing a period of historic growth, expanding our footprint to ensure that world-class, “white-glove” spinal care is accessible to more people than ever before.
A major part of this evolution is the addition of Dr. Robert Rothrock, MD, to our surgical team. Dr. Rothrock is a board-certified, dual-fellowship trained neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive and complex reconstructive spine surgery. By bringing his specialized expertise in spinal oncology and deformity correction into the fold, NU-Spine is strengthening its ability to treat the most challenging cases with the same precision and care our patients have come to expect.
Beyond New Jersey: Expansion into PA and Florida
While our roots are firmly planted in New Jersey, the demand for Dr. Skovrlj’s minimally invasive techniques has led to an exciting interstate expansion. NU-Spine is no longer just a local leader; we are now a multi-state institute with new locations designed to serve the Northeast and the Southeast:
