David believes in a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care and works closely with primary carers, pain specialists, physiotherapists, clinical psychologists, nurses and occupational therapist to achieve evidenced based contemporary care for patients with spinal conditions.
David sees surgery as only one part of the solution for patients and encourages them to seek further information about their conditions to ensure they can make an informed choice and, when appropriate, pursue non-operative treatments and self-management before making a decision to have surgery. He encourages supervised rehabilitation for all patients who undergo surgical treatment and follows patients for 12 months or longer to track outcomes.
