Going to the doctor, especially a surgeon, can be a stressful. We want to minimize the stress associated with your appointment by making sure that all of your questions are answered. The key to making sure your questions are answered is to write them down. I treat all of my patients like they are family and here is the exact same list of questions I have before one of my family members has surgery.

  • What is the diagnosis?
  • Are my symptoms referable to the diagnosis?
  • What are the non-operative management options?
  • What are the operative management options?
  • What are the risk of surgery?
  • What is the benefit of surgery?
  • What is the recovery time for this surgery?
