What to expect at your consultation

From your first consultation to the next step, take time to ask about anything unclear.

  1. Discuss the problem and your expectations

    Your symptoms, health history and any previous procedures are considered together.

  2. Consider the options

    If surgery is recommended, discuss its purpose, alternatives, risks and what would happen without it with your doctor.

  3. Plan preparation and follow-up

    Clarify your procedure instructions, whether admission is needed and the follow-up plan.

Prepare before your visit

A little preparation helps you remember important details during the consultation.

First visit guide
  • Bring previous imaging, pathology and surgical reports.
  • Prepare a list of medicines and allergies.
  • If a procedure is planned, follow only the preparation instructions given to you.
