since 1998
A surgeon who teaches
exactly what he operates.
Hi I’m Dr Tony Mork, endoscopic spine specialist. I was a knee and shoulder surgeon for my first 16 years of practice before going 100% spine in 1998. I bought my first Wolf transforaminal tray with a YESS scope in 2001.
I have a 100% endoscopic spine practice and have never performed a fusion — there are better ways to cure back pain.

Most surgical courses stop at the OR. ESA courses take you through everything a surgeon actually needs: how to identify the right patient, what to say in the consent, how to set up the OR, what to dictate, and which CPT codes to use. That’s why physicians implement these techniques immediately.

What surgeons say after
completing ESA courses.
“What sets Dr. Mork apart from other learning series is that he takes you from diagnostics, to selection of instrumentation and coding. This is truly a complete solution for physicians and allows you to apply this knowledge immediately in your patients.”
“Dr. Mork’s course addresses all aspects of the procedure from A to Z — scheduling, consent, OR disposables, dictation and billing. There is a lack of comprehensive endoscopic learning materials. ESA fills a badly needed void in standardizing endoscopic spine surgery education.”
“I leave most courses with inspiration and hope, but I finished his course with confidence and a complete knowledge of the procedure including tips on complication avoidance. This course is essential for anyone with basic endoscopic experience looking to expand their practice.”

Questions physicians
ask before enrolling.
Yes. Courses are designed for any MD considering endoscopic spine — orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and pain management physicians. Prerequisites are minimal.
Every course includes a full billing module with CPT codes matched to the operative dictation — designed to maximize reimbursement and prevent claim denials.
No formal prerequisites. Courses 1–3 (Facet Series) are beginner-level entry points. We recommend completing those before the Transforaminal or Interlaminar courses.
You can begin implementing immediately after the online course. The 1-Day Lab Intensive is optional and available with any of the 8 ESA courses — for physicians who want hands-on cadaver practice before their first case.
If you complete Module 1 and aren’t satisfied, we’ll refund your course in full. We’re confident in the quality — but we want you to be too before committing.
Corporate events rush you through multiple procedures with multiple instructors. ESA focuses on one procedure at a time, taught by the surgeon who does it daily — including billing and dictation that most events never cover.
