REVIEWS
"Excellent App! - If you are a spinal surgeon this is a great app for you! I am a Neurosurgeon and Spine surgeon and have been using this app to help educate my patients. My patients love using the ipad to learn about their condition and what is involved in surgery." - Matt McDonald AUS

"Excellent App. …This easy to navigate interface allows access to a large number of animations simplifying the understanding of complex spinal procedures. I like that the videos are anatomically accurate. I use this app to show patients potential surgery. … The app appeals to patients with spinal disorders, and to residents, and physicians who deal with spinal patients. This app makes bedside consents far simpler." - Renodoc USA

"…I find this to be an invaluable tool for explaining surgery to my patients. It greatly speeds up the consent process, and patients really appreciate a simple visual medium to aid in their understanding of the proposed procedure. Well worth the money!" - PaulSpine AUS

"Great for spinal surgeons - Fantastic program to assist the practicing spinal surgeon with informed patient consent and pre and post operative explanation. Animations high quality and the surgery is factually correct but generic enough to be used by most surgeons despite individual technique variation…" - Micheal Falkenberg AUS

"Succinct, clear and easy to use. …Great demonstration of all surgical procedures and great tool in litigation." - Trial Law USA

"Brilliant. As a physiotherapist it provides my patients with a deeper understanding of the pathology. There is nothing that compares to this app, the animations are brilliant and the functional anatomy is a perfect clinical companion." - jla AUS
