The "Conservative-First" Protocol
Dr. Akinola’s philosophy ensures surgery is only recommended when medically necessary. Every patient is taken through a shared decision-making process where non-surgical alternatives are exhausted before confirming a surgical date. When surgery is required, the following preparation standards apply:
Essential "Pre-Op" Checklist
-
Medical Documentation Patients must bring all physical films or digital CDs of X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans.
-
Clinical Data Provide recent results for blood tests, infection markers, and bone density scans.
-
Medication Management A comprehensive list of current medications and dosages must be disclosed during the final pre-surgical consultation.
-
Referral Integration While not mandatory, a formal referral letter from your primary physician is preferred to ensure coordinated care.
