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.

Course + 1-Day Lab Intensive Bundle
Any ESA course bundled with the 1-Day Lab Intensive. Full online curriculum plus hands-on cadaver training with Dr. Mork.
Every course covers the full arc – not just the procedure.
From first imaging read to billing – nothing skipped.
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.

What surgeons say after
completing ESA courses.
“Nothing is left out of this training series. Dr. Mork takes you from diagnosis, to selective injection, to the procedure, and finishes with the specifics of documentation and coding. I finished his course with confidence and a complete knowledge of the procedure.”
“Dr. Mork’s course addresses all aspects of the procedure from A to Z – scheduling, consent, OR disposables, dictation and billing. ESA fills a badly needed void in standardizing endoscopic spine surgery education.”
“The ESA courses gave me everything I needed to start performing endoscopic spine procedures with confidence. The online format means I can review any module before a case whenever I need a refresher.”

Questions physicians
ask before enrolling.
Yes. Courses are designed for any MD considering endoscopic spine – orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and pain management physicians.
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. The 1-Day Lab Intensive is optional and available with any of the 8 ESA courses for physicians who want hands-on practice before their first case.
If you complete Module 1 and are not satisfied, we will refund your course in full.
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.
