Spine Surgery

Spine surgery is one of the areas where advice differs most between surgeons, and where a careful independent review before you commit is most useful. We arrange remote reviews of your MRI and symptoms with spine surgeons in our network, and coordinate surgery and early rehabilitation in India if you decide to proceed.

We take no commissions from hospitals. Our fees are paid by you, published upfront, and itemized separately from your hospital bill. Full details on the Fees page.

A spine theatre prepared before a case: a radiolucent operating table with positioning bolsters, a C-arm fluoroscope alongside, instruments on a sterile tray.

  • Cervical disc disease and myelopathy

How a written second opinion works here

Most cases start here: a structured review of your records before anyone talks about travel. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that treatment close to home makes the most sense, and the opinion will say so.

  1. 1

    Share your records securely

    After we connect, we send you a secure link for your reports, imaging and prescriptions. Nothing sensitive goes through the website form. Your most recent documents are usually enough to start; we will ask for older ones only if the specialist needs them.

  2. 2

    An independent specialist reviews your case

    A doctor from our network who works in this field, not a call-center agent, reads your file against the treatment you have been advised. Where the records are incomplete, you are told exactly which test or report is missing before any conclusion is drawn.

  3. 3

    You receive a written opinion to keep and share

    A written document addressed to you: whether the advised treatment is in line with accepted practice, what the alternatives are, and the questions worth asking your treating doctor. It is meant to be shared with your own doctor, and it never replaces them.

If you decide to travel: how the full journey works

  1. 1

    Share your case

    Tell us your diagnosis and what treatment has been advised. After we connect, we send you a secure link for reports. Nothing sensitive goes through the website form.

    Teleconsult with a specialist

    We schedule a video consultation or a written second opinion with a specialist from our network who is relevant to your condition.

  3. 3

    Transparent plan and quotes

    You receive treatment options and itemized hospital quotes for your case. Our facilitation fee is shown separately, and it is never hidden inside a hospital bill.

  4. 4

    We coordinate everything in India

    Admissions, scheduling with real dates for your case, visa invitation paperwork, airport pickup, accommodation through our travel arm Tripcuro, and follow-up after you fly home.

Spine Surgery: FAQs

I have been advised spinal fusion. Is it always necessary?
Not always. Recommendations for the same MRI differ between surgeons, and some spine problems respond to structured non-surgical care. That is what an independent review is for: a spine surgeon looks at your imaging and symptoms and tells you whether surgery is a reasonable next step, whether a smaller procedure could address it, or whether conservative options are worth exhausting first. The decision stays with you and your treating doctors.
What does a written second opinion cover for a spine case?
It reviews your MRI or CT against your symptoms and examination findings, states whether the advised procedure is in line with accepted practice for your condition, lays out the alternatives (including non-surgical ones), and lists the questions worth asking your local surgeon. It is a written document addressed to you, meant to be shared with your own doctor.
How do you decide which hospital to recommend?
We are hospital-neutral. We shortlist hospitals across India based on the specialists available for your specific condition, the hospital’s accreditation and infrastructure for your procedure, and your budget. We take no commissions from hospitals, so nothing pushes us toward one over another. We share named options privately once we are working on your case.
