Upload MRI/CT Scans

Your imaging holds most of the answers, and the best first step is often the simplest: let Dr. Melamed look at it. The complimentary MRI and CT review gives you an expert read on your spine before you commit to travel, a procedure, or anything else — reviewed personally, not handed off to a coordinator.

How to send your imaging

You can share your MRI or CT through our secure upload, or our team can walk you through the options if your images are on a disc or held by another facility. What matters is the actual scan files and, where possible, the radiology report that goes with them.

• ✓Our team can help retrieve images from another facility
• ✓There's no charge for the review

Dr. Melamed reviews it personally

This is not an automated read or a quick glance by staff. Dr. Melamed looks at your imaging himself, the same way he would if you were sitting in his office. That personal attention is the whole point — you get a spine surgeon's read on your spine, not a form letter.

What you'll learn and how long it takes

After the review, our team follows up to share what Dr. Melamed saw: what your imaging shows, whether it points to a clear problem, and what your realistic options are — including whether a muscle-sparing approach could apply. If it helps, we set up a telehealth visit so Dr. Melamed can walk you through the scans on video before you travel. Turnaround is usually a couple of business days, so you're not left waiting to understand your own spine.
