Actively Practicing Medical Experts

The surgeons and physicians providing medico-legal services at The International Spine Centre maintain active clinical roles alongside their expert reporting work. This ensures their opinions are grounded in real-world practice, aligning with current clinical guidelines and treatment standards.

Credible & Relevant – Reports reflect up-to-date medical knowledge

High Clinical Standards – Practitioners uphold excellence in patient care

By engaging specialists who still treat patients daily, we deliver reports that carry weight in legal settings while remaining medically robust.

Our Coordinated, Collaborative Care model integrates:

Pain management expertise

Surgical perspectives

This holistic framework ensures medico-legal assessments aren’t limited to isolated evaluations. Where multiple specialties are needed (e.g., chronic pain + spinal pathology), our practitioners work together—without compromising independence—to provide comprehensive, fair reports.

Compassionate Patient-Centred Care

We believe medico-legal assessments should uphold dignity.

Recognise the emotional toll of chronic pain
