We are committed to patient-centered care that enhances the patient’s experience through the often confusing and frightening process of spinal, brain, and nerve problems.
Before seeing a neurosurgeon, it’s important to have a good relationship with your primary care physician. If you have been experiencing back pain for six weeks or more, and it is not relieved with conservative treatment, you may want to ask your doctor for a referral for a neurosurgical opinion.
Other signs you may need to see a neurosurgeon are extremity pain, numbness, or weakness; or sudden loss of bowel or bladder control.
