Meet Dr. Yevgeniy Khavkin: Renowned U.S. Spine Surgeon Bringing World-Class Care to Dubai

Dr. Yevgeniy Khavkin is a globally recognized neurosurgeon and complex and minimally invasive spine specialist with a reputation for excellence built over decades of surgical expertise. Patients from around the world have sought out his renowned care at his Las Vegas practice, and now, Dr. Khavkin is bringing the same world-class spine surgery expertise to YKNeuroSpine in Dubai.

Dr. Yevgeniy Khavkin

Dr. Khavkin’s journey in medicine began in Russia, where his mother, a pediatric surgeon, inspired his passion for healing. At just sixteen, he started his medical studies in Russia, demonstrating extraordinary dedication to his craft. In 1994, following his family’s immigration to the United States, Dr. Khavkin became the first foreign medical student to transfer into a prestigious University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He went on to complete a Neurosurgical Residency at the University of Chicago and a Fellowship in Complex and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Johns Hopkins University.

 

Dr. Khavkin has held esteemed positions in the medical field, including Director of Neurosurgical Spine Services at Northwestern University. There, he became known for his expertise in performing complex oncological spine surgeries and for mentoring neurosurgical residents and fellows.

 

For more than a decade, Dr. Khavkin has led a thriving multi-specialty practice in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, where his innovative techniques and compassionate care attracted patients from across the globe. He has performed thousands of complex and minimally invasive spine surgeries, helping patients achieve lasting relief and improved mobility.

Humanitarian Leadership in Global Health

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Khavkin has dedicated more than 25 years to international humanitarian work, contributing to improving medical care in Eastern European countries, Peru and Vietnam. He has worked with orphanages in Russia to address orthopedic and neurological challenges in children and has served as a board member with organizations Firefly and MiraMed, lending his expertise and time to medical charity initiatives. He has also done volunteer humanitarian work in Peru and Vietnam helping those in need. Through these efforts, Dr. Khavkin has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare for underserved communities around the world.

Bringing Comprehensive Spine Surgery and Global Expertise to Dubai

Now operating in both Dubai and the United States, Dr. Khavkin’s goal is to make advanced and minimally invasive spine care more accessible to patients in the UAE, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Asia, and surrounding regions. His move to Dubai reflects his commitment to expanding his practice to meet growing international demand.

His expertise in minimally invasive techniques is designed to support reduced recovery times and promote favorable outcomes. Patients in Dubai can now access the same expertise and innovative care that made Dr. Khavkin a trusted name in spine surgery in Las Vegas, ensuring they receive personalized, world-class treatment for their spinal health journey.

Global Patient-Centered Care

Dr. Khavkin’s patient-centered philosophy has always focused on individualized care, combining advanced surgical techniques with a compassionate approach. While many patients benefit from non-surgical options like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medications, those requiring surgical intervention can trust Dr. Khavkin’s expertise to deliver exceptional outcomes.

A Vision for International Excellence

Dr. Khavkin’s dual presence in Dubai and the United States underscores his commitment to providing world-class care to a global audience. By expanding his practice to the UAE, he aims to bring the same innovative treatments that have transformed lives in Las Vegas to patients across the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Asia and beyond.
