Expectations during a Spine Surgery Consultation

You now have your spine surgery consultation date and time in place. Writing down your concerns and preparing them for this appointment is best. Our doctor or his PA has a prepared list of questions to ask you as well, such as,

• "What kind of work do you do?"
• "How do you spend your spare time?"

These questions help us create an individualized treatment plan based on your lifestyle. During these consultations, you can learn if there are less invasive treatment options besides surgery.

Remember that we will first consider more conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, injections, and minimally invasive procedures. You may not require spine surgery to achieve your desired goals.

You should never feel rushed through this appointment because you are #1 at the moment. You and we must make sure you have ample time to have all your concerns addressed.

Our professionals can't answer all of your concerns and questions about procedures and all available treatments in a few minutes; it takes time. However, we are just as busy as you are and don't want you or us to waste valuable time either.

This consultation helps us arrive at the perfect solution for your situation. If you believe you need a second opinion, it's okay. You will not hurt our feelings; this is every patient's right. We aim to give you the information you need to make an educated and informed decision.

Spine surgeon, Dr. Callewart, who has medical practices in Dallas, Rockwall, & Forney, TX, explains that he strives for excellence in patient satisfaction and settles for nothing less than successful outcomes with few complications.

Lastly, do not expect our practice to avoid discussing past treatment failures, as some outcomes have proven less than satisfactory because of no one's fault. Any surgery presents an element of risk for our doctor and you. Know what your risks are before your surgical procedure.

This consultation helps to seal a unique trust between you and our doctor.
