Please tell us what procedures you would like to have done. Send us pictures of yourself: front, back and profile views so the doctor can do an evaluation. He will then call you for a complementary telephone consultation and we will send you your estimate. You can take the first step by filling out our request for virtual consultation form.
You should book your appointment at least 3 weeks in advance. If you need a specific date please book as soon as you have made your decision to ensure we are able to reserve your desired date.
Many of our patients come from hundreds or thousands of miles away. We have designed a protocol for your convenience. If we have received your pictures and you have discussed your desired procedures through a telephone consultation with doctor, you can wait until the day prior to your surgery to have your in-person pre-op consultation.
We have our own certified on-site surgical facility where we perform your surgery. We have two, state of the art operating rooms and several recovery beds with a team of professionally trained nurses to serve you.
Most surgeries require an overnight stay in our clinic, which is covered in the cost of your procedure. If you are having a minor procedure no overnight stay is required and we give you your post-op instructions in writing. Visit our “What to expect before and after surgery” and “Aftercare” pages for more information.
Yes, when you book your appointment we will send you information regarding your required laboratory testing.
