William Dillin M.D.<br />
Spine Surgery Consultant<br />
The concepts of Evidence Based Medicine have been the cornerstone of Dr. Dillin’s<br />
education during his spine surgery fellowship in Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery<br />
and the format for decision making in his subsequent practice.<br />
The critical analytic features inherent in the ‘best evidence’ approach to patients have<br />
permeated his writing and his lectures, allowing flexible adaptation as the science has<br />
changed. The combination of logical clinical analysis based on these principles, and<br />
twenty five years of experience exclusively devoted to spine surgery and spine related<br />
problems, allows specialty focus on any <strong>Independent</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> Evaluations or <strong>Medical</strong>-<br />
Legal Reviews.<br />
William Dillin, M.D. is a spine surgery and spine medicine consultant at the Kerlan-Jobe<br />
Orthopaedic Clinic. The Kerlan-Jobe physicians serve as consultants to the Los Angeles<br />
Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Angels<br />
of Anaheim, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour, Loyola Marymount<br />
University and USC Sports.<br />
