John Kleimeyer, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Kleimeyer specializes in orthopaedic spine surgery, treating cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine disorders including disc herniations, stenosis, myelopathy, fractures, scoliosis and more. He treats both simple and complex spine problems including revisions. His goal is to provide the most minimally invasive solution to improve patients’ quality of life. This includes less invasive discectomies, decompressions, disc replacements, and fusions. He is particularly focused on single-position procedures to limit surgical time and recovery.
Prior to coming to the Stanford Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Stanford Spine Center, Dr. Kleimeyer completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Stanford University where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He then completed his spine fellowship at the renowned Emory University Spine Center. He is board-certified.
Dr. Kleimeyer has received honors and recognition for his research in the fields of orthopaedic surgery and spine surgery. He participates in national and international specialty societies and as a journal reviewer. His research interests include improving clinical outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical care, the genetics of orthopaedic and spine disorders, and cost efficacy. Dr. Kleimeyer has published over 20 journal articles in addition to other reviews and textbook chapters, and has presented research nationally and internationally. -
Jayme Koltsov, PhD
Biostatistician 3, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Koltsov is an expert in clinical and translational orthopaedic research design and biostatistics with a unique and valuable combination of skill-sets. Her foundation from her Ph.D. in orthopaedic biomechanics provides an understanding of the underlying anatomy, pathology, and mechanics not typical for a biostatistician. This background empowers effective and efficient communication with clinicians and scientists and enables Dr. Koltsov to develop study designs and analytic strategies exceptionally tailored to the physical orthopaedic problems under investigation.
Dr. Koltsov has an extensive knowledge base in research methodology and statistical methods honed from her PhD onward, including univariate statistics (parametric, non-parametric, and categorical); survival analysis (Kaplan Meier and Cox proportional hazards); multivariable and longitudinal data analyses (logistic regression, generalized linear modeling, linear mixed models, hierarchical and repeated measures modeling, and generalized estimating equations,); quasi-experimental techniques for reducing bias (propensity score matching and inverse probability treatment weighting); patient reported outcome design and validation; diagnostic test validation; and healthcare economic analysis. Over the past 11 years, Dr. Koltsov has developed a successful track record of collaborations with clinicians and scientists to lead and facilitate high-quality clinical, translational, and health services research spanning multiple orthopaedic disciplines, including spine, arthroplasty, foot and ankle, upper extremity, trauma, sports medicine, pediatrics, rheumatology, rehabilitation, and biomechanics.
