Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Neurosurgery

Do you perform aneurysm surgeries onsite?
a.

No. Our surgeries are performed in advanced hospital and surgical settings equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest standard of safety and precision.

Do I need a referral to see a neurosurgeon?
a.

Not always. While some insurance plans require a referral, many patients can schedule a consultation directly. Our staff can help verify your coverage and requirements before your appointment.

How quickly can surgery be scheduled?
a.

Timing depends on the urgency of your condition. For high-risk aneurysms, surgery may be scheduled immediately. For smaller, stable aneurysms, we will create a personalized treatment plan and schedule surgery accordingly.

What should I bring to my first appointment?
a.

Please bring any recent brain imaging scans (CT or MRI), a list of current medications, medical history records, and your insurance information to ensure a thorough evaluation.
