01 / About me
How I can help
During your consultation, we review your symptoms, examination results and proposed treatment plan. My aim is to explain your medical situation clearly, discuss the available options and help you understand possible next steps.
Russian, Romanian, German and English.
Consultation tailored to your situation
A written opinion or a video or telephone consultation about neurosurgical conditions, spinal disorders and pain treatment. We discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment and the questions that matter to you. You receive a clear explanation of your findings and possible next steps.
Second opinion and MRI/CT review
An independent assessment of your diagnosis, the reasons for a recommended operation and possible treatment alternatives. I review the MRI/CT images, reports and discharge summaries you provide alongside your symptoms. If information is incomplete, I explain which further examinations or in-person consultations may help.
Before and after treatment
We discuss the proposed treatment plan, preparation for surgery, recovery and rehabilitation. Surgical and nonsurgical approaches to pain treatment can be considered, including their possibilities and limitations. A follow-up consultation can review new findings, treatment results and changes in your condition.
