Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need surgery for my back or neck pain?

Most likely not. The majority of conditions we treat are managed conservatively — without an operation. We start with an accurate diagnosis and a plan that begins with the least invasive effective option.

Dr. Ramírez considers himself an “ultimate spine specialist.” He diagnoses and treats causes of spinal pain that many surgeons overlook — such as sacroiliac joint dysfunction and paraspinal muscle atrophy — not just the conditions that lead to surgery.

Yes. If you’ve been told you need spine surgery, we welcome the opportunity to review your case and give you an honest, independent assessment. Learn more on our Second-Opinion page.

Sí. Dr. Ramírez es bilingüe y atiende a pacientes en español e inglés. Llame al (407) 624-5011.

Please bring a photo ID, insurance information, a list of current medications, and any recent imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) or reports related to your spine condition.

Absolutely. Referrals from primary care physicians, pain specialists and other providers are a cornerstone of our practice. See our For Referring Physicians page.
