What to expect at your Neurosurgery Appointment in Mission Viejo
At your initial neurosurgery appointment with Dr. Taghva, you can expect a thorough and thoughtful evaluation focused on understanding your symptoms, medical history, and goals for treatment. The visit typically begins with a detailed review of your condition, including any prior imaging studies (MRI, CT scans, X-rays) and treatments you’ve undergone. Dr. Taghva takes the time to listen closely, so be prepared to describe your pain or neurological symptoms in as much detail as possible.
To make the most of your appointment, it’s helpful to bring the following:
During your visit, Dr. Taghva may perform a physical and neurological examination and will discuss potential next steps in your care—whether that’s further imaging, non-surgical treatments, or options for spine surgery or neuromodulation such as spinal cord stimulation. If you’re here for a second opinion, Dr. Taghva will review your existing treatment plan with a critical eye and offer insight based on his evidence-based approach to neurosurgery.
Dr. Taghva practices at a leading medical center in Orange County, where he provides a full range of neurosurgical and related medical services. His philosophy is to avoid unnecessary procedures and instead tailor treatments to the individual—often recommending minimally invasive or motion-preserving solutions when appropriate. From advanced spine surgery techniques to cutting-edge spinal cord stimulation therapies, patients benefit from Dr. Taghva’s nationally recognized expertise and commitment to innovation. Whether you’re exploring your first treatment plan or revisiting your options, you’ll receive thoughtful, high-quality care rooted in clinical experience and compassion.
