Nationally Recognized Spine Care

Columbia Spine offers appointments via video or phone call for current and new patients. Video visits and phone calls allow patients to connect in real time with one of our neurosurgeons without leaving their home. Patients can use a smartphone or tablet. All virtual connections are secure and HIPAA compliant.

Please keep in mind that just as with in-person visits, video and phone consultations may require imaging prior to scheduling an appointment. Please call your doctor’s office for additional instructions on sharing imaging and to set up a telehealth visit.

Scheduling a Telehealth Appointment
