What to expect

For many people, a visit to a neurosurgeon can be stressful and frightening. Our physicians and staff at Center for Cranial and Spinal Surgery understand your concerns and will be sensitive to your feelings.

The most important thing you can do during your visit is tell your doctor any information that relates to your health – even if it makes you uncomfortable. Your doctor needs this information to fully understand the issues and problems you are having.

Also, prepare for your appointment in advance by writing down any questions you may have. Make sure to get these questions answered when you meet with our physicians, along with any other questions that may come up during your visit. You may even want to bring someone along to help you ask questions and write down the answers.
