Patient Experience

A clinical experience built around you.

From the first phone call to the final follow-up, every step of care is coordinated, intentional, and focused on a single outcome — getting you back to the life you want to live.

What to Expect

Four steps. One coordinated team.

01

Consultation

An unhurried first visit. Dr. Zavatsky reviews your history, examines you personally, and listens to your goals before discussing any plan.

02

Diagnosis

Imaging is reviewed in detail with you on screen. You will leave understanding what is happening — and why — in plain language.

03

Treatment Plan

Conservative options first when appropriate. If surgery is indicated, the recommended approach, alternatives, and expected recovery are clearly explained.

04

Recovery

Coordinated post-operative care, physical therapy, and follow-up — so progress is measured and adjustments are made when needed.

Office & Surgical Center

Modern facilities. Quiet expertise.

Procedures are performed at fully accredited regional surgical centers and hospital partners equipped with the latest in intraoperative imaging, neuromonitoring, and recovery support.

Intraoperative neuromonitoring
Real-time spinal cord and nerve monitoring during every procedure.
3D navigation & imaging
Sub-millimeter accuracy for instrumentation placement.
Same-day discharge programs
For appropriately selected minimally invasive procedures.
Coordinated rehabilitation
Trusted physical therapy partners across Greater New Orleans.
Insurance & Financial

Most major insurance plans accepted.

Our team verifies benefits before your visit and provides clear, written estimates prior to any procedure. We work with most major carriers and offer self-pay options where appropriate.

In Patients' Words

Stories of recovery.

Outcomes shared with permission. Individual results vary.

"
Dr. Zavatsky never rushed a single appointment. I felt like the only patient on his schedule.
K.A. — Cervical fusion
"
He recommended I try therapy and an injection before considering surgery. Six months later, I'm back to running.
P.M. — Conservative care
"
The minimally invasive approach meant I was walking the same day. My recovery exceeded every expectation.
R.B. — MIS decompression
"
After two prior failed surgeries, I had almost lost hope. The revision worked.
L.W. — Revision surgery
"
His office staff coordinated everything with my insurance. I never had to chase a single phone call.
T.S. — Lumbar microdiscectomy
"
I was treated as a person, not a chart. That mattered as much as the surgery itself.
G.D. — Adult scoliosis
