About Cynthia Konrath

"Since graduating PA school, my medical specialty revolved around spine orthopedics and pain medicine. I started at a small local pain clinic where I saw a lot of personal injury and motorvehicle related injuries and developed a lot of my procedural skills and medication management. I then continued my career at Rayus Radiology (formerly CDI) where I gained a portion of my knowledge on spinal radiology and interventional spine procedures. I did however miss using my own procedural skills. I most recently ended my "W2" career at Summit Orthopedics working in nonoperative spine orthopedics and was able to learn additional procedural skills as well as reinforce my other competencies.

Even prior to 2017 I had always dreamt of having my own clinic......my own practice. As I continued working in different clinic scenarios it just became more and more evident to me that this was the time to try....so I curated Moderni Spine."
