How the practice approaches care

Considered, clearly explained, coordinated.

  1. Listen before planning

    Your history, your symptoms and what matters to you come first. Scans are read in the light of the person, not the other way round.

  2. Explain the options

    Findings are explained in plain language, with the anatomical models on hand, so you understand the reasons behind every recommendation.

  3. Use surgery selectively

    Many spinal and brain conditions are best managed without an operation. Surgery is recommended only when it is likely to help.

  4. Coordinate the journey

    Your referring doctor, other specialists and the practice team are kept informed, so the next step is always clear.

What patients can expect

Your journey, step by step.

Every stage has one clear next action, and you are kept informed throughout.

  1. Enquiry or referral check

    Contact the practice or ask your doctor to refer you. The team will confirm what is needed before your appointment.

  2. Consultation

    Dr Munthree takes a full history, examines you and reviews your scans and reports with you.

  3. Further evaluation, if needed

    Sometimes more information is needed first, such as additional imaging or tests, or input from another specialist.

  4. Your individual plan

    The options are explained, including non-surgical care and monitoring, so you can decide together.

  5. Follow-up

    Progress is reviewed and your referring doctor is kept informed.
