By using these innovative Surgery procedures, experienced experts at Orange County Neurosurgery are able to perform “Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery” to their patients. This means the patients can get positive results with minimum hassles in Spine Surgery.

The Surgeons encourage patients to sit with them and discuss if at all a Surgery is proposed to be performed and take an informed decision. This sort of shared decision making paves way for perfect understanding between the patient and the doctor. 

The doctor assesses the physical conditions of the patients, through several tests like MRI Scan, CT Scan and others. The patient is asked to fill up a questionnaire, completely stating the discomforts, pains and inabilities they’re experiencing, in order to understand the condition exactly and accurately.
