How much time should I anticipate spending at the surgery appointment?
As a reminder, anticipate spending 1 to 4 hours with us. We recommend that you clear your entire day so that if there is a complication or you experience discomfort, you have the appropriate time set aside to deal with an unanticipated situation. Surgery is not an exact science and we believe that by setting the time aside, you will ensure that we have given you the best care possible. Some surgeries require more time than others. This cannot always be predicted prior to scheduling. Every effort will be made to carry out your procedure in a timely fashion.
