When you're the first in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to perform cervical artificial disc replacement - in 2007! - and Southern California's foremost leader in spine surgery and neurosurgery, things can sometimes get a little hectic.

But for Dr. Kapil Moza, nothing stands in the way when it comes to providing the best for his patients. That's why he recently opened Centurion Surgical Center, an outpatient surgical center that is fully accredited by the Joint Commission and specializes in minimally-invasive spine surgery and interventional pain management. In 2018, the Center celebrated its second year serving patients from all over the country.

Dr. Moza currently serves as the CEO and medical director of the top-rated space, which is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by board-certified surgeons and physicians. Unsurprisingly, Centurion boasts the largest operating room in any ambulatory surgical center in
California, a standard Dr. Moza insisted upon to ensure that every patient could be accommodated safely and in the greatest comfort. The center serves as a center of excellence for patients seeking minimally-invasive spine surgery and artificial disc replacement, as well as interventional pain management treatments like radio-frequency ablation, epidural injections and spinal-cord stimulator implantation.

As Centurion staff continues to tout its second anniversary, Dr. Moza's team is celebrating the board-certified specialist's big win: being named Castle Connolly's Top Doctor of 2018. This prestigious, rare award is only granted to America's top doctors who have shown unmatched expertise, knowledge and have received the recommendation of colleagues in their medical profession.

"It's an incredible honor - one I'm humble and grateful to receive," says Dr. Moza. "To be included in this nation-wide community of the most exceptional physicians makes me all the more dedicated to serving people the best way I know how - by eliminating pain and restoring movement to those who are hurting the most."

The surgeon, who made a name for himself with zero-percentage infection rates, groundbreaking minimally-invasive techniques and successes with complex cases other doctors refused to attempt, is no stranger to the very best awards in his field. Dr. Moza has also been granted the "Super Doctors Award" three years in a row, as well as named to the Blue Ribbon Panel, to which only those who have received the highest scores are permitted. According to the Super Doctors' website, "In selecting physicians for Super Doctors, MSP Communications employs a rigorous multi-step process designed to identify physicians who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement."

Dr. Moza is ranked number-one regionally among all spine surgeons because of his superior outcomes and top patient-satisfaction scores. A proud member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society - one of the hardest organizations to qualify for - Dr. Moza served as an instructor of skull-base surgery at Oregon Health & Science University and an assistant clinical professor of Neurosurgery at the University of California, Irvine. Because of his prowess in the classroom, a new generation of neurosurgeons have begun offering surgical procedures that take less time in the hospital - and in recovery - with better outcomes.
