Our providers are specialized in their care, meaning their schedules can be heavily booked. For this reason, many of our providers do not perform “work ups”, which is the preliminary appointment providers use to attempt to diagnose a patient. During the work up, providers will perform multiple exams, testing, and may request additional information or images to properly diagnose a patient. This takes time, and there is no guarantee that the diagnosis is something that a neurosurgeon may be best to treat. For these reasons, most of our patients call our office already having a diagnosis and the proper imaging (CT, MRI, xrays, etc.) that will establish the diagnosis.

Typically the more recent the imaging, the better off you are. This is because recent imaging will give a better picture of your condition at its current state. If you have imaging that is over a year old, it may be an inaccurate representation of your current condition. Feel free to contact us to dicuss any of the concerns you may have.
