How care is approached
Surgery when it helps. Straight answers when it does not.
The aim is to identify the likely pain generator, understand how symptoms affect function, and support an informed decision.
- Review of symptoms, examination findings, prior treatment, and available imaging
- Discussion of nonsurgical and surgical options when clinically appropriate
- Coordination with therapy, pain management, primary care, and other specialists as needed
- Transparent discussion of expected recovery, limitations, and follow-up
