Lower Costs Compared to Hospitals
Costs for neurosurgery are lower due to our focus on outpatient procedures, streamlined operations, and lower overhead expenses. We benefit from reduced administrative costs, shorter patient stays, and more efficient use of resources. Patients can expect lower facility fees and we negotiate better rates for medical supplies, all contributing to significant savings for both patients and insurance providers.

Infection rates are lower because we have controlled environments with fewer patients and visitors, follow strict hygiene protocols, and specialize in outpatient procedures. The shorter stays also reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections.

These procedures involve smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and reduced anesthesia, which leads to quicker healing. Additionally, we employ streamlined protocols and specialized post-operative care, allowing patients to recover faster and return home the same day.
Say Goodbye to Diabetic Foot Pain With Spinal Cord Stimulator
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) pain is a debilitating and progressive neurological disorder that impacts quality of life and functional ability for those with diabetes.
What may start as uncomfortable numbness in the feet can quickly turn into a burning/stabbing pain. This can spread into the legs becoming progressively worse and excruciating. It may be nearly impossible to walk, stand, sit, or rest comfortably.
Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a non-opioid, FDA-approved way to manage chronic pain that may be caused by DPN. An SCS is implanted under the skin and used to manage chronic pain, especially when other treatments have failed to provide sufficient relief.
SCS disrupts the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain. SCS can help treat the following: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Chronic pain, Neuropathic pain, Radicular Pain, Ischemic Pain, Peripheral vascular disease, Arachnoiditis, Postherpetic neuralgia, & Cancer pain.
