At the very beginning of his professional career, Dr. Clusmann worked for several years under the supervision of the outstanding German neurosurgeon, Professor Johannes Schramm.

Most spinal surgeries may in fact be useless. Eight out of ten patients who requested a second opinion before elective surgery were advised not to undergo the procedure.
Back pain is one of the most common complaints. But although the problem is so widespread, wrong diagnoses are quite frequent.

Валерий Николаевич
Я просто восхищён рекомендациями Проф.Клусманна, полученными мной по видеосвязи по поводу пареза руки. Он очень вдохновил меня тем, что возможности консервативной терапии ещё не исчерпаны, и в моём случае есть шанс на частичное восстановление двигательных функций. Одно из его назначений уже дало некоторый эффект. Прошу передать г-ну Клусманну мою огромную благодарность! Хочу также отметить отличную организацию консультации сотрудниками Медконсонлайн!

Professor Clussmann’s review of my daughter’s situation was amazingly quick and precise. Uploading the MRI images with Medconsonline help had been very easy. Unfortunately, we were not happy about the conclusions since we had hoped for an operation, which turned out to be impossible in my daughter’s case. I am very thankful for the consultation anyway.

I think Professor Clussmann is super. His advice was a blessing when I was so much frustrated about my spine surgery. My doctor said I need it, still it was so frightening, just to think about it. Professor’s answer was clear cut: do it or things will get too worse. So, I did it, and here I am, walking straight again without pain. Thank you, doctor!
