In his words
What patients most often ask Dr Kevin before their first appointment.
What happens at the first appointment?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: I examine you and go through your scans with you on screen. By the end, you should know what is causing your symptoms and what your options are.]
When do you advise against surgery?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: More often than people expect. If your symptoms are likely to settle, or the risks outweigh the benefit, I will tell you that plainly.]
How do you help patients decide?
[Answer in his voice, 2 to 3 sentences. For example: I explain each option, what recovery looks like and what could go wrong, and I encourage you to bring family and take time if you need it.]
