FAQs
Thorough Medical History
We work closely with you to understand YOU, by gathering a detailed medical history, including historical lifestyle behaviors, environmental factors, symptoms, assessing your goals, ailments, prior lab testing, nutritional, and current lifestyle habits. These help us act as a detective, allowing us to identify where to begin and how to create an effective and customized treatment plan, personalized to your unique needs.
Diagnostic Testing
Appropriate testing will be as needed to further diagnose your surgical condition or provide a “road map” for your surgery.
