MRI Review & Educational Video Consultation

If you are considering an endoscopic spine procedure or cervical disc replacement, the first step in our process is an MRI-based educational consultation.

This review is designed to help you understand what is happening anatomically, whether your symptoms correlate with imaging findings, and whether surgical treatment—endoscopic or otherwise—is likely to be helpful.

Why We Start With MRI Review

Spine symptoms and MRI findings do not always correlate. For that reason, we do not begin with a brief office visit.

Instead, care begins with a structured review of your MRI, performed personally by Dr. Gollogly. This allows for thoughtful analysis and clear communication before any decisions are made.

What the MRI Review Includes

After submitting your request:

  1. Secure Intake
    You will complete a confidential online questionnaire describing your symptoms, medical history, and prior treatments.

  2. MRI Access
    Our team will obtain electronic access to your MRI images and reports.

  3. Physician Review
    Dr. Gollogly personally reviews your imaging in detail.

  4. Educational Video Explanation
    You will receive a secure, narrated video explaining:

    • Relevant spinal anatomy

    • Imaging findings

    • How those findings relate to your symptoms

    • Reasonable treatment options, including non-surgical care

This video is delivered directly to you and can be viewed at your convenience.

What This Step Is — and Is Not

This MRI review is:

  • An educational consultation

  • A way to determine whether you are a potential candidate for endoscopic surgery

  • An opportunity to understand your condition clearly before proceeding further

It is not:

  • A commitment to surgery

  • A substitute for emergency care

Next Steps After the Review

After you’ve had time to review the video and ask questions, we will discuss:

  • Whether an in-person or virtual consultation is appropriate

  • How our out-of-network, concierge-style care model works

  • Possible timelines and options moving forward

Only patients who are comfortable with the information and process move on to the next step.
