Dr. Bess performs charity surgery and is a surgeon for the Ethiopia Project and the Foundation of Orthopaedics and Complex Spine, which are charity organizations that travel to Africa to provide scoliosis and spine surgery for children in need. Dr. Bess devotes a large portion of his professional career to research efforts in hopes of improving treatment for patients with spine conditions and has more than 100 publications, 20 book chapters and travels nationally and internationally to lecture on research findings. With patient health, safety and patient outcomes as his highest priority, he strives to understand how and why people respond to different forms of treatment to better serve them. As a dedicated caregiver, Dr. Bess believes that understanding patient treatment needs and goals are the most important aspect of care. He strives to tailor his care to fit each individual's needs and continually works to return patients to a healthy, active lifestyle.
