In his words
What patients most often ask Dr Arvin before their first appointment.
What happens at the first appointment?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: I go through your scans with you and explain whether treatment through a blood vessel is suitable, and what it involves.]
How is this different from open surgery?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: Treatment is done through a small tube placed in a blood vessel, usually at the wrist or groin, so there is no opening of the skull.]
How do you help patients decide?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: I work with the neurosurgeons so you hear every option side by side, including watching and waiting where that is safe.]
