Originally hailing from the suburbs of Dallas, Texas, Dr. Birinyi completed his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Science degrees in cellular and molecular neuroscience at The Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, Maryland. While there, he pursued his interests in the genetics of alcohol and drug abuse at the National Institute on Drug Abuse and in restless legs syndrome at The Johns Hopkins Center for Restless Legs Syndrome.

After returning home from Baltimore, Dr. Birinyi graduated from the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas, where he engaged extensively in anatomical education. In residency at Saint Louis University, his interests included resident education and minimally invasive spinal surgery. He continued his interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques with a spine fellowship with Dr. Kevin Foley and the Semmes-Murphey Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee.

Dr. Birinyi currently resides in Alexandria, Louisiana where he enjoys spending time in the community, being with his wife and daughters, and partaking in Louisiana’s vast outdoorsman culture.
