SchedulingWe ask that you schedule an initial consultation with the doctor. At that time questions will be answered, the necessary procedure is determined and discussed, a complete health history is taken and we will schedule you for a surgical procedure if you so desire. The surgery may be done in our office or at the hospital. After surgery you will usually have two or three post-operative appointments to check your recovery. Occasionally, we experience emergency scheduling of patients involved in accidents and other acute emergencies. We do try to stay on schedule; however, there are instances when even the best of planning cannot control your waiting room time.
