Surgical Referral
Surgical Referral Services in the Bloomfield Hills-Pontiac Area
Living with chronic pain is a debilitating experience that significantly impacts your quality of life. The Oakland Pain Consultants team is dedicated to exploring every avenue to alleviate discomfort. While we emphasize non-surgical, minimally invasive methods as the initial approach to pain management, we recognize surgical intervention may become necessary for certain patients.
An Extensive Network of Referrals
We collaborate closely with an extensive network of highly skilled surgeons across various specialties. When it becomes clear less invasive treatments and therapies aren’t providing the significant pain relief our patients need, we’re prepared to make informed referrals to trusted physicians who can further assist.
Patient Eligibility Process
When determining if a patient is a candidate for a surgical referral, we carefully consider all other treatments that have been attempted. Our thorough evaluation process ensures a referral is the best course of action for the patient’s specific conditions and circumstances. We consider the following when devising a treatment plan:
- Patient Assessment – Comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s current pain condition, past treatments, and overall health.
- Team Consultation – Our specialists discuss the case to explore all potential options for pain relief.
- Surgical Referral – If deemed necessary, patients are referred to a specialist with the expertise to address their pain issues.
- Continuous Support – We provide guidance and support throughout the entire process, from pre-surgery preparation to postoperative care.
Benefits of Surgical Referral
Though surgery is never the first option, its benefits can be life-changing for those who have exhausted other treatment modalities:
- Lasting Pain Relief – The main goal of surgical referral is to significantly reduce or completely alleviate chronic pain.
- Access to Specialized Surgical Expertise – Patients gain access to surgeons with specific expertise in treating complex pain conditions.
- Comprehensive Care – We ensure continuity of care, guiding patients from the referral stage to their surgical treatment and recovery.
