Dr. Jensen has always been eager to improve as a spine surgeon, and he has done this through continuing education after his fellowship. Every year he choses a surgeon to learn from and would travel to their practice, spending time with them, and learning for up to a week at a time.


These experiences allowed Dr. Jensen to learn different techniques and incorporate new technologies into his own practice. He was driven by a sincere desire to continuously improve his skills and knowledge.

Dr. Jensen is a clear thinker and is adept at problem solving. In 2013, shortly after starting his practice in 2008, he was issued his first patent for a solution he developed to address a challenge he encountered while treating his patients. Since then, he has been granted multiple patents and has been involved in developing products and surgical techniques. He was also selected to teach other surgeons how to perform endoscopic spine surgery, a minimally invasive approach to spine surgery.


Endoscopic spine surgery represents a significant advancement in the field of spine surgery. In the early 1980s, most shoulder surgery was performed openly, requiring large incisions. However, over the next 20 years, a small group of leaders pushed the boundaries and introduced arthroscopic surgery—a groundbreaking technique involving small incisions and underwater visualization. This innovative approach provided superior surgical views, making it easier for surgeons to identify and resolve problems.


Endoscopic spine surgery has followed a similar path. It is performed through an incision measuring less than half an inch and under water, offering unparalleled visualization of the anatomy and pathology. Dr. Jensen is proud to be involved in the advancement of endoscopic spine surgery and has made contributions to the field. Procedures such as microdiscectomy, medial branch transaction, decompressions, foraminotomies, and nano fusions can all be meticulously executed through the minimally invasive, maximally visualizing endoscope. Now, after years of seeking out knowledge from others, Dr. Jensen has the opportunity to share his expertise with other surgeons.

Dr. Jensen is a very thoughtful and conservative surgeon who leverages new technologies to avoid fusion whenever possible. For instance, he has had good success with medial branch transactions when treating spondylolisthesis, which is normally managed with a lumbar fusion. I would gladly send a family member to him for treatment.
