Joining Northeast Orthopedics in August of 2008, Dr. William Montgomery specializes in surgical disorders of the spine. In July of 2008, Bill completed a coveted two-year subspecialized fellowship in spine surgery at the Cleveland Clinic where he was cross trained by both neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons. His training in both fellowship and residency was extensive in the surgical management of cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine disorders. He learned and utilized state-of-the-art techniques including minimally invasive surgery and complex spine instrumentation. His fellowship also focused on the treatment of the aging spine including kyphoplasty, deformity correction, and management and reconstruction of pathologic spine conditions such as cancer and infection. His special interest lies with disorders of the cervical spine.

Bill grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii where he was an avid outdoorsman. He graduated from the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine in 2001 where he received the Merck Academic Achievement Award and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. He moved with his wife and four children to Seattle to attend the University of Washington Orthopedic Residency Program. While at the University of Washington, he received the Victor Frankel Research Award and the Most Outstanding Chief Resident Award from the nursing staff. Bill completed this program in 2006.

Dr. Montgomery is also a Major in the US Army Reserve Medical Corps and recently returned from a deployment as the sole orthopedic surgeon at the 325th Combat Support Hospital in Tikrit, Iraq.
