What to Expect on Your First Visit?
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation establishing and explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, most often, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
