What to expect
From your first consultation through a monitored recovery, here is what care with Dr. Abrahams looks like at every stage — guided by our team and supported by AISA, our recovery platform, so you always know the next step.
Step by step
Before anything else
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Abrahams reviews your history, symptoms, and imaging, explains what is causing your problem in plain language, and walks you through every option — conservative and surgical. You leave understanding your diagnosis and your choices.
Preparing for surgery
If surgery is the right path, preparation improves recovery. Through AISA, you complete education, simple conditioning, and a baseline set of symptom and function measures before your procedure — so your care team knows exactly where you are starting from and your recovery can be tailored to you.
The day of your procedure
Dr. Abrahams performs your procedure using techniques refined over thousands of spine surgeries, favoring the least invasive approach appropriate for your condition. Our team coordinates the details so you and your family know what to expect on the day and afterward.
Immediately after surgery
You are never on your own. Dr. Abrahams calls every patient the day after surgery from his own cell phone, and AISA begins daily check-ins right away — tracking your pain, medications, and incision, and alerting your care team the moment something needs attention.
Between your visits
Through Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, AISA keeps your recovery on track between appointments — delivering your day-by-day plan, guiding your therapy, reviewing wound photos, and sharing your progress securely with your care team so your plan can be adjusted early, when it matters most.
Getting back to life
Recovery is a process, and we follow it to the end. Structured follow-ups and patient-reported outcomes let us confirm you are meeting your milestones and getting back to the activities that matter — with your care team a message away if anything changes.
