Your journey
From first consultation to full recovery, mapped out clearly.
Neurosurgery can feel unfamiliar. Here is exactly what to expect at each stage of your care.
Stage 01
Consultation & referral
Bring your referral letter and any prior imaging. We review your history and symptoms in full before recommending next steps.
Stage 02
Diagnosis & imaging
MRI, CT and further scans are reviewed personally to build an exact picture of your condition.
Stage 03
Surgical planning
Where surgery is needed, we walk you through the procedure, risks and expected recovery timeline in plain language.
Stage 04
Surgery
Procedures take place at Gaborone Private Hospital and Riverside Hospital, Francistown, with a dedicated theatre and post-operative team.
Stage 05
Recovery & follow-up
Structured follow-up visits and fitness-to-work guidance support a full and monitored recovery.
Prepare for your first visit
- Referral letter, if available
- MRI, CT or other scans and reports
- Current medication list
- Relevant medical records
- Questions you want to discuss
Imaging and referrals
Referral letters and prior scans may be brought to the first visit or sent to the practice ahead of time. The clinic will advise if further imaging is required.
For urgent or emergency symptoms, call Gaborone Private Hospital directly or seek immediate care rather than using the online appointment request.
After surgery
Recovery is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Follow-up visits are structured around your procedure and your progress. Where relevant, guidance on returning to work and daily activity forms part of the discussion.
Appointments & referrals
Start with a specialist consultation.
Choose Gaborone or Francistown and tell the clinic how it can help.
