Common Questions

FAQs

Find answers about referrals, what to bring, second opinions, and what to expect at your appointment.

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Nkrumah?

A referral is not required for most patients, though some insurance plans ask for one. Our team will confirm what your plan needs when you book.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Bring relevant imaging, reports, a current medication list, and any notes or questions you would like to discuss.

Does Dr. Nkrumah offer second opinions?

Yes. A second opinion is an independent review of your imaging, diagnosis, and any recommended treatment, with a clear explanation of the alternatives.

Will surgery always be recommended?

No. Care begins with the least invasive effective option, and surgery is recommended only when the findings and your symptoms agree that it will help.
