The Consultation Link
The consultation is the first encounter between the patient and the surgeon. It is very important in setting the tone for the whole relationship. It will not only serve to determine the procedure to be done but in many ways will determine the overall results for the patient.
Through this process of examination and discussion it is important for the surgeon to listen to and understand the aspirations and expectations of the patient and it is equally important for the patient to understand the possibilities and limitations of any proposed surgery.
For these reasons the patient should feel free to ask any question that he or she feels is important to a full understanding of the proposed surgery including the costs , possible side effects or complications and experience of the surgeon. The better prepared a person is for this discussion the clearer the results will be.
It is our policy not only to allow sufficient time for this process but also to allow for one or more revisits prior to surgery to further achieve this end. Only after the patient is fully informed and confident in his or her decision will details of the date and preparations for surgery be made. The office staff as well as the surgeon are important and available and committed to this end.
