Precision over surgery, function over medication, and a plan built around you.
RH Spine & Pain Institute was founded on a simple conviction: patients living with spine and joint pain deserve a physician who exhausts every advanced, minimally invasive option before surgery is ever discussed. Co-founded by Dr. Andrew Hanna and Dr. Matthew Robinson, our practice brings fellowship-trained, image-guided interventional care to Los Alamitos.
Every consultation begins with a thorough evaluation of your imaging, history, and goals. From there, we build a treatment path — often combining regenerative, injection-based, and neuromodulation techniques — designed to restore function and help you avoid the operating room whenever possible.
Both physicians are consistently among the highest-rated and most reviewed pain specialists in their field — recognition earned directly from the patients they treat.
Dr. Hanna is double board-certified in Pain Management and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. He completed his residency and fellowship at UCLA, where he later served as a clinical instructor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He now serves as Medical Director of the Back and Neck Health Center at MemorialCare Orthopedic & Spine Institute, and his work has been published in texts used to train other pain specialists. His practice centers on image-guided interventional procedures, regenerative techniques, and advanced neuromodulation for patients with complex, persistent pain.
Dr. Robinson is double board-certified in Pain Management and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, ranking in the 97th percentile on his national board exams. He completed his residency and fellowship at UCLA, where he was selected as Chief Resident of one of the nation's largest physiatry programs, and later served as a clinical instructor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He continues to lecture UCLA physicians in his field, and builds each treatment plan around a patient's functional goals, drawing on a wide range of interventional and neuromodulation techniques for complex, treatment-resistant pain.
We treat patients navigating chronic and post-surgical pain, as well as those hoping to avoid an operation altogether.
"Our first goal is always the same — help you avoid surgery, and help you move again."
