Virtual MRI Review With a Spine Surgeon

Already have a spine MRI and want a surgeon's read on it? Dr. Devan Higginbotham can review your images and go over them with you by video. Reviews start at $200, paid directly, with no insurance needed.

Who this is for

  • You have a lumbar or cervical MRI and the report left you with more questions than answers.
  • You were told you might need surgery and want a second set of eyes before deciding.
  • You live outside Fresno and want to know whether a trip to see a spine surgeon makes sense.
  • You do not have insurance coverage for a specialist visit yet, or would rather keep it simple and pay a set price.

How it works

  1. Request a review

    Call (559) 758-7119 or use the request form and choose "Virtual MRI review."

  2. Send us your MRI

    Our office will follow up to get your MRI images and report.

  3. Dr. Higginbotham reviews them

    He looks at the images themselves, not just the written report, along with the symptoms you describe.

  4. Talk it through by video

    You meet by video to go over what the MRI shows, what it may mean for your pain, and what reasonable next steps look like, surgical or not.

Cost

A virtual MRI review starts at $200. It is cash pay, so there is no insurance to sort out first.
