"To ensure patient satisfaction the most important thing is proper communication and selection with our prospective patients," said Dr. Prada in a Becker's Spine Review article. "By appropriate patient communication and selection, I mean, researching patients' history, pre-examinations and MRI findings to ensure we determine the best surgical procedure for our patients. Laser Spine Institute has a rigorous screening process to make sure any treatment we provide has a high likelihood of success. In addition, I always maintain clear expectations for surgery to assure the best outcomes for my patients."
