Consultation
A typical first consultation takes around 45 minutes. During this a thorough history and examination will be taken. After this any imaging that has been performed will be reviewed and a plan made. Often this will include further imaging. Most brain and spine conditions require an MRI scan (or CT) to guide treatment. At a subsequent consultation, the results of any investigations will be discussed and a plan for treatment (surgical or non surgical) and follow up will be made.
