Zach Pinter, M.D.
Spine Specialist
Dr. Zach Pinter is a fellowship-trained spine surgeon who specializes in the treatment of degenerative, oncologic, infectious, and traumatic conditions of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine in adult patients.
Dr. Pinter focuses on patient individuality, tailoring treatment plans to match their symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Dr. Pinter employs the latest in cutting-edge minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Dr. Pinter strives to avoid spinal fusion whenever possible in favor of alternative treatments that preserve motion, including cervical disc arthroplasty, lumbar disc arthroplasty, laminoplasty, lumbar facet arthroplasty, and minimally invasive decompressions. He was a lead investigator on the TOPS lumbar facet arthroplasty Food and Drug Administration Randomized Controlled Trial and is proud to be the first spine surgeon in Utah to provide access to this motion-preserving technology.
When spinal fusion surgery is needed, Dr. Pinter has extensive experience with advanced technologies, including computer navigation and robotic-assisted spine surgery, powerful tools to reduce the invasiveness of surgery, promote more rapid recovery, and improve patient safety.
Dr. Pinter is married to the love of his life, Megan. They have 4 wonderful children. Together as a family, they enjoy skiing, traveling, playing sports, and exploring all of the incredible natural beauty that the Mountain West has to offer.
