Can I obtain medical and surgical care online?

Subir Jhaveri Spine Hospital offers online consultations where you can interact with our experts via video and receive medical recommendations without coming into the clinic. Video visits are for routine, nonurgent medical visits. Contact us for more details.

How does COVID-19 affect my recovery from surgery?

We want to perform your surgery or procedure in the safest possible circumstances. One of our health care members will reach out ahead of time to ask you about possible symptoms of COVID-19, to ensure that we are not performing any surgery or procedure at a time when you are sick. We are doing this as a precautionary measure so that we have all of the information we need to provide you with an ideal care experience and promote a smooth recovery.

Please let us know if you have had close exposure to someone who is known to have, or suspected of having, COVID-19 (such as a household member or caregiver), as we may need to adjust our plans to reflect this.

Does surgery make me more likely to get COVID-19?

No, having a surgery or procedure does not increase your chances of developing COVID-19. Our infection prevention practices and protocols are aimed at protecting our patients, providers and staff. Everyone, including employees and visitors entering our hospitals and clinics, will be screened for symptoms and known high-risk exposures. Everyone will be offered a mask to wear as a way to contain their respiratory secretions and to prevent spread of infection to others.
