Neurosurgical Experience
Neurosurgeon
Spine Care
Patients considering spine surgery need more than a procedure name. They need a clear diagnosis and an experienced surgeon who can explain whether surgery is appropriate.
Dr. Zahos is a board-certified neurosurgeon with more than three decades of experience treating spinal and cranial disorders. His education and training include Yale University, the George Washington University School of Medicine, and neurosurgical residency and chief residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center.
His career has included clinical leadership and academic appointments at major medical institutions. Today, he evaluates patients in Paramus using an evidence-based, conservative-first approach. Learn more about Level One Neurosurgery and Dr. Zahos before scheduling your visit.

Level One Neurosurgery is located at 140 Route 17 North, Suite 255, in Paramus. The office serves a community where more than one-quarter of residents are 65 or older and the average commute is about 31 minutes. Those local realities matter when back or leg symptoms make walking, standing, driving, or commuting harder.
During an evaluation, Dr. Zahos looks beyond the location of the pain. He considers weakness, numbness, balance problems, radiating symptoms, activity limits, prior care, and imaging findings. Patients seeking a spine surgeon in Paramus NJ receive a plan based on how those pieces fit together.
This approach is especially relevant for patients arriving from nearby Bergen County communities after symptoms have continued despite previous treatment or when an MRI has raised questions about nerve or spinal cord compression.
Dr. Zahos may consider microdiscectomy when disc material is pressing on a nerve and the patient’s symptoms and imaging point to the same source.
When a lower-back condition requires an operation, lumbar spine surgery may involve decompression, stabilization, or another approach selected for the specific diagnosis.
