No, patients do not require a formal referral letter from a general practitioner to schedule an appointment. You may schedule directly through our online form or by calling our clinic number.

Yes, we provide secure telemedicine options for patients who live outside of Kabul or are unable to travel due to severe pain. Video calls are organized after we receive and review your MRI/CT records.

Please bring any recent medical files, high-resolution radiology scans (MRI or CT imaging on CDs or hard sheets), a list of current prescriptions (especially blood thinners), and copies of past treatment summaries.

Recovery timescales depend heavily on the specific procedure performed and the patient's age and clinical state. Minimally invasive spinal surgeries often allow patients to stand within a day and resume light duties in 2 to 4 weeks. Major spinal fusions or complex brain surgeries require 2 to 6 months of gradual recovery and tailored rehabilitation.
