The decision
There may come a time when back or neck pain may reduce the quality of your life. Everyday activities, such as walking, shopping, or housework can become difficult or unbearable. Taking part in favorite hobbies such as golf or bowling may be a thing of the past as conservative measures like diet, exercise, physical therapy and medications no longer provide relief or alleviate your pain. If this is you, it may be time to consider spine surgery.
Our Comprehensive Approach
We have created a special program that brings together a team of experienced and expert surgeons with caring and specially trained nurses, therapists and technicians. Our goal here is to provide seamless, coordinated care, and get you back to your favorite activities as soon as possible.
Dedicated Place, Dedicated People
Within our hospital, we have created a special area just for the care of our spine surgery patients. No hospital gowns for this crowd - you get to wear your own clothes! Our specially trained therapists work closely with the nurses and surgeons to get you up and about as soon as possible. Family members are encouraged to participate with you in the recovery process, learning about special exercises, medications and follow-up care, helping to make the transition home a smooth one.
Our staff has been hand-picked for their positive attitudes, motivational skills, and their desire to provide outstanding service. In addition, they have been specially trained to provide comprehensive clinical care for patients undergoing back and neck surgery.
Superior Education
We believe the key to better outcomes is a commitment to superior education for you and your family. Knowing what to expect each step of the way goes a long way to reducing stress and anxiety and preparing you for as smooth a recovery as possible.
Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Engaging Community outreach seminars
- An informative pre-operative class for patients and family
- A Patient Guidebook
- Daily newsletters while in the hospital
- Educational wall displays answering the most frequently asked questions
