Dr. Hemil Maniar

Dr. Maniar completed his orthopedic training in India before deciding to move to the United States to complete two fellowships, allowing him to specialize in orthopedic spine surgery and orthopedic trauma surgery. To achieve his goals, Dr. Maniar completed a spine surgery fellowship from Northwestern University and a trauma fellowship from the University of Louisville.

“I realized that I wanted to learn more about how to help patients with complex fractures and spine issues,” Dr. Maniar explained. “The orthopedic trauma came naturally to me, as I really enjoy working with my hands and fixing things that are broken. However, what drew me to spine was the knowledge that a lot of people in the community do not know that they can return to routine daily lives with appropriate treatment.”

After working at a busy Level I hospital in Central Pennsylvania, he relocated to Lawrence with his wife and son.  His clinical interests include both non-operative and operative treatment of conditions such as cervical disc herniation, lumbar disc herniation, degenerative spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, radiculopathy, myelopathy, spinal cord compression, spinal deformity and spinal trauma with conventional and minimally invasive surgery, as well as upper and lower extremity fractures and dislocations.

Dr. Maniar is active in clinical research and has had his work published in medical journals. He is also a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, North American Spine Society, Lumbar Spine Research Society and the Orthopedic Trauma Association.
