Low Back Pain

Seyed M. Emadian, MD, PhD

Dr. Emadian is a board-certified neurosurgeon at Hamilton Physician Group-Neurosurgery and Spine in Dalton, Georgia. He attended graduate and medical school at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida. He then completed his residency training in neurosurgery at the University of Utah Affiliated Hospitals in Salt Lake City, Utah. For the past 20 years, Dr. Emadian has practiced neurosurgery in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

Dr. Emadian worked with some of the world’s best in genetic research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute for Human Genetics in Utah and is a fourth-generation mentee of Harvey Cushing, the father of neurosurgery in the U.S.

“I am very humbled by the training I have received. I feel so blessed in that regard. Most importantly, I share my mentors’ philosophy of patient care. Patients come first. I consider it a great honor and privilege to serve my patients. It is my goal to provide them with the same level of care that I would provide to my own family.”

“I always dreamed of having the ability to make a difference in the community that I live in. One of the dreams I’ve had is to put together a comprehensive neurosciences program where neurosurgery, neurology, rehabilitation, and pain management work together. All of the pieces of the puzzle are here at Hamilton Health Care System.”

In his spare time, Dr. Emadian pursues his interests in painting, photography, endurance running and cycling, gardening, cooking, and woodworking. “Most of all, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.”

Dr. Castro treats patients with chronic rheumatic and autoimmune diseases like osteoarthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, myositis, vasculitis, etc. She chose rheumatology as her specialty because “it allows me the opportunity to serve and care for patients who have a variety of diseases and establish an ongoing relationship with them. I grew up in a family that taught me that you don’t need to do big things to help others. Even small things make a difference. I enjoy having a career as a rheumatologist because I get to make a difference in people’s lives.”
