You may be referred to a neurosurgeon if you are experiencing chronic back or neck pain, nerve-related symptoms (like numbness or weakness), or if you’ve been diagnosed with a condition affecting the brain or spine that may require surgical evaluation.

This depends on your insurance plan and the clinic’s policies. It’s best to check with your provider or contact the clinic directly.

During your first visit, we will review your medical history, imaging and symptoms. We will discuss your diagnosis and recommend treatment options, which may include nonsurgical or surgical approaches.
