Justin Vickery, MD is a fellowship-trained spine surgeon at Texas Orthopedics specializing in disorders of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine.

Dr. Vickery completed his undergraduate degree in Microbiology at Texas A&M University during which time he was awarded a Research Scholar Designation for his expertise and contribution to medical research. He earned his Doctor of Medicine from the Texas A&M College of Medicine, and his orthopedic surgery residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. During his education, Dr. Vickery was the recipient of several prestigious scholarships, awards, and academic achievements, including a Resident Teaching Award at Vanderbilt. Dr. Vickery completed his Spine Fellowship at the world-renowned Norton Leatherman Spine program in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dr. Vickery is a member of the North American Spine Society and the Texas Medical Association. He has a long history of volunteerism focused on both the medical and social needs of others.

As an orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Vickery’s approach to patient care is grounded in compassion, communication, and trust. He believes in exhausting all appropriate conservative treatments before considering surgery, ensuring that every decision is guided by the latest evidence-based research. He treats each patient as he would his own family—with honesty, empathy, and respect—and he’s committed to being his patient’s strongest advocate throughout their journey, whether or not surgery becomes part of their treatment. Dr. Vickery’s goal is to support each patient every step of the way, helping them make informed decisions and working together toward the best possible outcome.

Outside of medicine, his family is his priority. He is happily married with a young son and a baby girl on the way. He and his family love spending time outdoors, especially on the water—swimming, boating, and fishing together whenever they can. They also share a passion for cooking at home and exploring the vibrant culinary scene that Austin has to offer.
