What to Expect During a Visit
In most cases, a patient's first visit to our office involves meeting with the surgeon and reviewing the child's medical history.
After an examination, the surgeon will then explain his recommendations. If surgery is indicated, the surgeon or one of the surgical nurses will outline when it should be performed and what to expect following surgery. If necessary, our nurse will schedule any tests that need to be performed prior to the surgery.
Following surgery, the surgeon will visit the child and family and discuss follow up care. We ask that you call the office after surgery to schedule your follow up visit.
If you are unable to keep your appointment, we appreciate a 24-hour notice for rescheduling.
It is our goal to see patients at their scheduled time, however, occasionally emergencies occur and delays are unavoidable. We appreciate your understanding if this occurs during your visit.
