About Dr. Nenadovich
A Florida native, Dr. Nenadovich first began studying aerospace engineering but became interested in the field of medicine after sustaining a knee injury. Dr. Nenadovich completed his undergraduate work at the University of South Florida, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Cell Science. He then moved on to The Chicago Medical School where he completed his Medical Degree and graduated with honors as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (the National Medical Honor Society). During his internship and residency programs with the University of Chicago Hospitals, he garnered several awards, including Outstanding Research Award from the North American Spine Society, for his research on gene therapy in degenerative disc disease.

After completing his residency, Dr. Nenadovich served a Spinal Surgery Fellowship at Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, New York.

He is currently involved with research on a cervical disc replacement as well as other motion preservation technologies.
