About Dr. Tender
I'm Dr. Gabriel Tender, and my medical journey began in Romania before bringing me to the U.S., first in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 1999, I moved to New Orleans to complete my neurosurgery residency at LSU—drawn by the strength of its neuroscience program—and I've proudly called the city home ever since.
I specialize in treating neurological and spinal trauma, with a focus on minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques, often referred to as "Band-Aid surgeries." These advanced procedures use small incisions and computer-assisted technology to perform complex spine operations with faster recovery times—often allowing patients to return home the same day or the next.
My specialties include back pain and spinal surgery.
