A second opinion before surgery
An additional specialist assessment to support your decision.
Assessment and treatment planning
A recommendation for spinal surgery can raise many questions. A second opinion offers time to review the diagnosis and proposed plan.
What we discuss during your visit
I consider your records alongside your symptoms and examination. We discuss the reason for surgery, possible alternatives and unanswered questions.
Your individual treatment pathway
Please bring the actual scans, reports, proposed operation and details of prior treatment. The aim is a clear specialist assessment to support your decision.
We discuss your options together
During your consultation, we consider which treatment suits your findings and goals, including the procedure, potential risks and limitations, and the next steps.
