    Photograph the report and the images and send them on Telegram or WhatsApp. The message is already written for you.

  2. A doctor replies by voice

    A doctor from the team personally reviews your scans and replies with a voice message within 48 hours.

    Examination, a case review by the whole team, and a written conclusion — in your hands the same day.

What to send

  • A photo of the MRI report — the page with the description
  • Photos of the images: the film against a window, or the monitor screen
  • Or the files from the MRI disc, as they are

Phone photos are enough. If in doubt, send everything.

7 mm

In green — the real size of the incision. Open surgery: 30–50 mm.

One incision. Muscles intact. Walking the same day.

The nerve is freed under a high-definition camera through a single 7 mm incision — ultra-minimally invasive. Most patients walk on the day of surgery and go home within 24 hours.

  • No general anaesthesia in most cases
  • No screws or implants
  • Back to work in 2 weeks

The team’s written conclusion

A document that stays with you

After the consultation: the conclusion of a five-surgeon consilium — diagnosis, what is recommended and why, what is not. You can show it to any doctor.

  • The ultra-minimally invasive 7 mm operation — with a plan and a date
  • A supervised recovery programme — no surgery
  • A referral to another specialist — if it is not our case
One of three answers

Three possible answers, all of them honest

The doctor says what the scans show, not what is convenient to sell. “You don’t need surgery” is an answer too.

The questions people ask before they press send

The short version of what worries people most. The rest is on the FAQ page — or simply ask in the chat.

Is endoscopic spine surgery safe?
Yes. Endoscopic spine surgery has an excellent safety profile: the ultra-minimally invasive approach through a 7 mm incision reduces the risks of infection, blood loss and muscle damage. As with any surgery, specific risks depend on the procedure and the patient's overall health. Across our team's 27,600+ operations, the complication rate is well below 1%.
Will I be awake during surgery?
Most endoscopic spine procedures are performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep during the operation. Some simpler procedures, such as vertebroplasty, may be performed with local anesthesia and sedation. Your anesthesiologist will discuss the best option for your specific procedure.
How much does spine surgery cost in Tashkent?
Your doctor discusses the cost with you in the chat after seeing your MRI, and the price is fixed in writing at the consultation. One price includes everything — there are no surprises.
Is the MRI opinion really free?
Yes. The remote MRI opinion is free: a doctor from the team reviews the scans and replies by voice. The in-person consultation at the clinic and the surgery are paid — the doctor names the cost in the chat and fixes it in writing at the consultation.
Can I send my parents’ MRI, or someone else’s?
Yes — that is how most people do it. Say whose scans they are, their age and what troubles them. The doctor replies to you, and you can come to the consultation together: the whole family decides.
What if surgery isn’t needed?
Then the doctor will say so. You get one of three answers: the 7 mm operation, a supervised recovery programme, or a referral to another specialist if it is not our case.
