Spine video consultation: your second opinion without travelling
We review your MRI and your case by video call, wherever you are. Ideal for a second opinion before surgery, for patients outside Valencia, and for follow-up after your operation.
Direct care from the surgeon · Your MRI reviewed on screen · No waiting lists
Who the video consultation is for
A video consultation isn’t for everything, but for some cases it’s the best way to start:
How it works, step by step
What to prepare
To make the most of the video consultation, have your recent MRI or CT scan to hand —ideally the study images, not just the report—, your previous medical reports and a brief summary of your pain and the treatments you’ve already tried. You’ll need a device with a camera and an internet connection.
When a video consultation isn’t enough (and we tell you)
Private and confidential consultation
Price of the video consultation
The cost of the video consultation is given when you request it. We work privately and, if surgery is appropriate after the assessment, we give you a closed quote with pricing and financing options.
Frequently asked questions about the spine video consultation
Is a second opinion by video consultation reliable?
Yes. Many spine surgery decisions are based on the MRI and the clinical history, and that can be reviewed perfectly by video call. We look at your images together and explain the options. If your case needs a physical examination, we tell you.
How do I send my MRI?
We give you a secure link to upload your study (ideally the full images, not just the printed report) before the appointment, so Dr. Vilatela can review them with you during the call.
Do you see patients from outside Spain?
Yes. We see patients from across Spain and abroad, in English and Spanish. The video consultation is ideal for a first assessment before planning a trip.
Do I need to travel to Valencia for the video consultation?
No. The video consultation takes place by video call from wherever you are. If surgery or an in-person examination is ultimately needed, we arrange the visit.
Does the video consultation replace an in-person consultation?
Not always. It is ideal for a second opinion, for guidance and for follow-up. When the case requires a physical examination or tests, we tell you frankly.
Is it useful for follow-up after surgery?
Yes. For many check-ups and questions after surgery, the video consultation is a convenient option that saves you travel.
Do you work with medical insurance?
No. It is a private consultation. We do not work with Asisa, Adeslas or other insurers.
