About Your Visit: What to Expect
To help make your visit as productive as possible, please bring the following items to your appointment:
Please Bring
☐ Government-issued ID

Imaging Before Your Visit
• If you have not previously had X-rays of your spine, our office will usually obtain X-rays prior to your visit so they can be reviewed during your consultation.
X-rays are often helpful even if an MRI has already been performed, as they provide important information about alignment and spinal stability.
During Your Visit
During your consultation, Dr. Buza will:
• Review your symptoms and medical history
• Perform a focused spine examination
• Carefully review your imaging studies
• Discuss your diagnosis and treatment options
Our goal is to provide a clear explanation of your condition and a personalized treatment plan to help you return to a healthy and active life.
