Frequently Asked Questions
Does 360 Ortho & Spine see personal injury patients from Georgia?
Yes. 360 Ortho & Spine welcomes personal injury patients from Georgia, including those referred by attorneys following auto accidents or other incidents. Dr. Prada is experienced in treating conditions commonly associated with personal injuries, including herniated discs, whiplash injury, and facet joint damage. The practice is self-pay, and our team is available to help coordinate your care.
What spine conditions does Dr. Prada treat for patients from Georgia?
Dr. Prada treats a full range of neck and back conditions at 360 Ortho & Spine, including herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, pinched nerve, foraminal stenosis, spinal arthritis, whiplash injury, bone spurs, and annular tears. Each patient receives a thorough one-on-one consultation to identify the source of their pain and determine the most appropriate minimally invasive procedure.
Is spinal decompression surgery a good option for Georgia patients with spinal stenosis?
For many Georgia patients diagnosed with spinal stenosis, minimally invasive spinal decompression surgery is an effective alternative to open surgery. Dr. Prada uses endoscopic techniques to relieve pressure on the spinal canal without placing hardware in the spine, preserving surrounding muscle tissue and significantly reducing both postoperative pain and recovery time.
Can Georgia patients have a video consultation before traveling to Tampa?
Yes! We offer video consultations for Georgia patients who want to connect with our team before committing to a trip to Tampa, Florida. You'll need to submit your completed new patient packet and copies of your MRI and X-ray images and reports, along with any operative reports, for Dr. Prada to review in advance. Please note that copies cannot be returned and may be destroyed after review. An in-person exam is required prior to surgery, and this can be completed when you arrive in Tampa for your procedure.
Where is a good place for Georgia patients to stay in Tampa?
There are plenty of affordable, accessible hotel options within a 15-mile radius of our practice, with several conveniently situated near Tampa International Airport. We recommend asking your hotel whether the room includes a freezer when you book, as you will need access to one for your ice packs during recovery.
Should Georgia patients book flights before a surgery date is confirmed?
Not yet. Please hold off on booking flights, accommodations, or other travel arrangements until you have received medical clearance from Dr. Prada and a confirmed date from our office. Booking before that confirmation risks unnecessary cancellation fees. Once your date is set, our team will follow up to make sure you have everything you need to plan your visit.
