We are available 24 hours a day at the phone numbers listed on the homepage. Medical Photographs Medical photographs are routinely obtained in order to help the surgeon plan the meticulous details of each operation. You will be photographed in the office as part of your initial consultation. These pictures then become an integrated part of your medical record in our office. Your consent for us to take and use photographs for educational purposes will be specifically requested if we would like to use your pictures for such purposes.
Education is a vital part of our commitment to teaching younger surgeons and colleagues.
Anesthesia The best and safest form of anesthesia will be provided to you for your procedure. This may involve general anesthesia attended by a staff anesthesiologist, depending on the case type. You may receive preoperative medications to help you relax before arriving in the operating room. All of our anesthetics are administered with the intent to provide patient safety and comfort, as well as facilitate the recovery process following the procedure. A local anesthetic is also used to directly numb the area of surgery.
