OUR APPROACH TO SURGERY

After careful discussion and once all non-operative treatment options have been exhausted, you may be offered a surgical solution to your problem.

If agreeable, your entire surgical plan will be discussed in detail; including what to expect in theatre, your post-surgery recovery and potential risks and benefits.

A unique offering of the practice is the dedicated pre-surgical consultation with our anaesthesiologist, Dr. Andrea Jacobs. The anaesthesiologist plays a pivotal role in ensuring a safe and successful outcome of your surgery. We prefer that our patients get to meet Dr. Jacobs prior to surgery to not only allow for a detailed anaesthetic assessment, but to also provide one more caring, familiar face when your big day arrives.

The stay after surgery is also carefully monitored by a specialized spinal rehabilitation team to ensure a comfortable, speedy recovery and discharge home.

“Once you choose hope, anything is possible”.
