Dr. Craig Brigham

I am so sad about Craig´s passing. I knew him at Northwestern. He was a lot of fun I remember going to a party with him and he was dressed up as Superman... he truly was. We took a road trip together when I moved to Oregon.... Great guy

Happy Birthday Craig

I just found out. This is a great loss. Dr. Brigham did my spinal fusion in 2010. I saw him a year later for a check-up and he was full of life. I am so sorry to hear this.

As a professional athlete, Dr. Brigham could relate to the physical demands of competition. Dr. Brigham gave me a second chance to continue my career as a professional basketball player in europe. I had what is called Spinal Stenosis, and 4 months post surgery i was back on the court... Dr. Brigham's effort and dedication is certainly appreciated...

In 2000 I had a spinal fusion that didn't go so well after three months it had to be redone. Dr Brigeham was brought I. To assist and I was so glad he did. I look at the X-ray's today and it was truely a work of a master. I'm sorry I never got to meet thus man I was sedated the whole time. I kept his name because if I ever had anything done again he would bye the first person I'd look for. Sadly today I learned of his death. I'm sorry I never got to tell him what a great job he did and how...

Very sorry to hear this news. Dr Brigham did my scoliosis surgery in 1994, and I remember him being very comforting. Condolences to his wife, daughter, and family.

Shocked! That is all I can say upon learning of the passing of Dr Brigham. We recently called for a follow up appointment for my daughter whom he preformed surgery on several years ago, and learned this terrible news. She needed surgery to correct a severe scoliosis proble when she was only 15, and we were so scared of this surgery, but his confidence and kindness helped us to be at ease. It was a long surgery and recuperation but Craig was very gracious throughout the whole process. My wife...

I called for my appointment with Brigham at office, on November 4th and I was shocked about him. I was crying so much at phone I could not stop myself. First time I visited at his office in 2005 and he told me you are near by paralyze, but if you go for surgery it may help you, but there is no chances for success. I was not sure but then I was visited him in 2008 he told me that there is no chance and you will be paralyze any time and I was ready for surgery. He did 8 hours surgery and it...

I was saddened and shocked to learn of Craig's passing in the recent Northwestern Ward Rounds magazine. We were close friends at Northwestern University Medical School and he was as dedicated to his medical studies as he was to his decathlon training. When he was training for an upcoming track meet, he would always be blaring the theme from Rocky. That was his theme song. He was understandably disappointed when the United States opted to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics, for which he had...
