Born and raised on the California coast, Dr. Tullis lived in several places before finding his home in Arkansas. After receiving an English degree from Santa Clara University, he enrolled in the Creighton School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska. His combined interests in neurologic sciences and surgery brought him to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he completed a residency in neurosurgery and developed an interest in brain tumors, pituitary tumors, complex spinal surgery, neurotrauma, peripheral nerve injury, hydrocephalus and implantation of spinal devices.

After practicing neurosurgery for four years, Dr. Tullis joined OrthoArkansas in 2011. He looks forward everyday to making his patients' lives better through surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions of the spine and nervous system. Dr. Tullis spends time reviewing recent neurosurgical literature and contributes to many of these publications. He is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons.
