Telehealth, also called telemedicine, virtual care, or online healthcare, lets you connect with Dr. Ghaly for a neurosurgery consultation without an in-person office visit. Using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access, you can discuss your symptoms, review your imaging, and get expert guidance from the comfort of home.
An online neurosurgeon consultation is not a replacement for every type of visit, some conditions still call for a hands-on physical exam to reach the most accurate diagnosis. But for many patients, especially those managing follow-up care, reviewing test results, or seeking an initial opinion before traveling for treatment, a virtual neurosurgery consultation offers the same expert insight with far less disruption to daily life.
This approach matters most for patients in remote or underserved communities, where access to specialized neurosurgical care can be scarce, and where a delay in getting expert input can affect outcomes.
A remote neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Ghaly may be a good fit if you:
If your situation involves a new, acute, or rapidly changing symptom, an in-person evaluation is generally the safer and more accurate starting point, Dr. Ghaly’s team can help you determine the right format when you reach out.
Discuss brain tumor findings, aneurysm monitoring, prior imaging, or post-craniotomy recovery with an online brain surgeon consultation. Review scans, understand treatment options, and discuss next steps with Dr. Ghaly before committing to travel or surgery.
From herniated discs and spinal stenosis to post-fusion follow-up, a telehealth spine surgeon visit lets you discuss your symptoms, imaging, and treatment plan directly with Dr. Ghaly. It is also useful when weighing surgical versus non-surgical treatment options.
Review symptoms related to the carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve conditions, or other peripheral nerve concerns through a convenient virtual consultation. Dr. Ghaly can discuss your symptoms, review relevant imaging, and help determine appropriate next steps.
A telehealth neurosurgery consultation makes it convenient to check in after surgery, review your recovery progress, discuss ongoing symptoms, and adjust your care plan with Dr. Ghaly without requiring an office visit. You can also review questions or concerns from home and plan next steps.
Getting started with your telehealth appointment is simple, secure, and designed to connect you with expert neurosurgical care from home.
Start by completing the form on our Contact page with your information and reason for the visit.
Dr. Ghaly's office will reach out for a brief initial phone consultation to understand your needs and confirm telehealth is the right fit.
We'll set up the most appropriate telehealth format for your situation, including video consultation, phone visit, or secure image review.
Join your neurosurgery telehealth appointment from your computer, tablet, or smartphone without special software.
Leave your visit with a clear next step, whether that's a treatment plan, imaging referral, or in-person evaluation.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw a great expansion in the need for and use of telehealth. State wide and national taskforces have been created to close the gap in internet connectivity in remote or rural areas.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes a $65 billion investment to ensure all Americans can access affordable, reliable, and high-speed internet. To read more about funding and programs to make telehealth accessible please read Internet for All .
Dr. Ghaly is a board certified spine, brain and carpal-tunnel neurosurgeon. The doctor has won numerous awards and citations for his services to his patients.
Patients in remote or rural communities can access the same specialized neurosurgical expertise available in major medical centers, without the travel.
Preoperative assessments, postoperative follow-ups, and even initial surgical consultations can be conducted remotely, reducing delays in care.
Every virtual visit is a direct, one-on-one conversation with Dr. Ghaly, reviewing your history, symptoms, and imaging in detail, not a rushed template visit.
Ongoing conditions and post-surgical recovery can be tracked through telehealth check-ins, with real-time sharing of images and records between visits.
Patient Testimonials and Stories
I met Dr Ramsis Ghaly 30 years ago when I moved to Chicago in a suburb called Oak Park. For 30 years, his Amazing Faith, his Beautifully Insighful stories, his Never-ending Generosity, his Brilliance as a World-Class Talented Neurologist have Inspired me. When I received a diagnosis 10 years ago that changed my life, Dr Ghaly met with me @ his Wonderous, Neurological clinic for over an hour FREE of charge. He kept my diagnosis manageable. Thank you for Being in my Life Dr Ghaly! And FREELY GIVING to thousands of patients throughout Chicagoland.

Sebee Boudreaux
Unbelievable and amazing! Dr. Ghaly is not only the most skilled and talented doctor, but he is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have had the pleasure of working with. If only every doctor was as kind and loving as he is. Saved me from a year of pain and followed up with me every step of the way. I cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Ghaly. The only true choice for a neurosurgeon or Lumbar surgeon.
Brendan Allen
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ghaly. Recently, I had my last follow up appointment after my spine surgery and I feel better than ever! After a two week into my recovery, I was able to return to my regular house tasks. Now, I have fully recovered and am fully mobile with no pain. During the recovery, I did not need pain meds, but it was available to me if needed.
Jesse Perez
I’m so grateful for the referral to Dr. Ghaly. Initially, I had high anxiety about the elective procedure. But Dr. Ghaly walked me through the process and worked with my family as to what to expect. He was great at easing my concerns and I have no regrets in getting the spine surgery. My only regret is not going to him sooner. Thanks a million, Dr. Ghaly! You have made my life so much more comfortable!!
Hunter Walker
For several years, I have suffered from lower back pain that was getting progressively worse. My niece had corrective back surgery and highly recommended that I meet with her doctor, Dr. Ghaly. This was the best advice! After a couple of visits, he scheduled surgery to correct the damage to my spine that was caused by arthritis. During each visit, he explained the procedure to me and to my family in terms that were easy to understand. His level of care and patience increased my comfort level with having the optional surgery. He was very thorough, kind, and ready to answer all of my questions. Having him perform the surgery was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I am so glad to have received the recommendation from my niece! Currently, I am in my second week of recovery from the surgery and I feel great!

Everything you need to know about neurosurgery telehealth consultations.
Neurosurgery telehealth, or telemedicine neurosurgery, is a virtual consultation with a neurosurgeon conducted by video or phone instead of an in-person office visit, used for initial consultations, follow-ups, and reviewing imaging or test results.
To start a telehealth consultation with Dr. Ghaly, fill out the contact form on our website. His office will call you for a brief initial phone consultation, then schedule your virtual visit in the format that best fits your needs.
Yes. Many post-operative follow-up visits can be conducted virtually, allowing Dr. Ghaly to monitor your recovery and adjust your care plan without requiring an office visit.
A virtual neurosurgeon consultation is highly effective for reviewing history, imaging, and follow-up care. However, some conditions, particularly new or rapidly changing symptoms, are best evaluated with an in-person physical exam for the most accurate diagnosis.
Just a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access. If you have prior imaging or medical records, having them available or sent ahead of time helps make your consultation more productive.
Ghaly offers virtual consultations for both brain conditions (tumors, aneurysms, post-craniotomy follow-up) and spine conditions (disc herniation, stenosis, post-fusion recovery), as well as carpal and ulnar tunnel follow-up.
