3 DAY PLAN
The 3 day plan is designed to get people back to their routine as fast as possible. By using a more efficient process, patients can be evaluated, treated and return back to life.
Upon arrival to Laser Spinal Solutions, you will be cared for by our courteous staff of Laser Spinal Solutions of Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Voesack. What we strive for is patient care. We use a coordinated, team approach which allows our patients’ access to surgeons, physicians, certified physician assistants, and helpful medical staff throughout their care. Dr. Voesack is available in a clinical setting Monday through Friday to allow patients’ access to physician daily.
Patients can request a Thursday appointment which frequently permits people to return to work on Monday (depending on what type of surgery was performed and the patient’s occupation.)

The minimally invasive techniques using the laser and endoscope with Dr. Ramsey can be used to treat painful conditions such as sciatica, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, bone spurs, scar tissue, arthritis of the sine, and foraminal stenosis. These procedures can frequently be done with small incisions (5-20mm) and without typical general anesthesia, which allows patients to go home that day.
The 3 Day Plan works well for many patients, depending on what type of procedure is performed; however, some patients may need to extend their recovery time depending on their specific medical problem or occupation.
