Dokki clinic
What the Spine Health & Neurosurgery Center offers
The center is the clinic of Prof. Mohamed El-Gaidi, Professor of Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery. Patients come here with back and neck pain, herniated discs and sciatica, with a brain tumor, hydrocephalus or a nerve problem found on a scan, and for follow-up after surgery.
During your visit the professor takes your full history, performs a neurological examination, reads your scans himself and then explains the diagnosis and your options: medication and physiotherapy, guided injections and minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. After treatment you return to the same clinic and the same surgeon for follow-up.
- Consultations for brain, nerve and spine conditions.
- Review of scans, reports and nerve studies against the exam.
- Planning of minimally invasive treatment or surgery, with each option explained.
- Follow-up after injections or surgery, adjusting the plan as you improve.
