From consultation to follow-up
The surgical process doesn't begin in the operating room, nor does it end with discharge. It begins in the consultation, when I evaluate your case, explain the diagnosis, and define the plan of action. From there, I accompany you through the preparation, the procedure, and the follow-up care.
Initial Consultation
I evaluate your case in detail, explain the diagnosis and the indicated treatment, answer your questions, and we define the plan to follow.
Preoperative Preparation
I will clearly explain the necessary tests, fasting, and medication management so that you arrive at surgery in suitable condition.
The Day of the Procedure
The procedure is performed in a safe environment, with a team focused on your care before, during and after the intervention.
Recovery and Discharge
I monitor your immediate recovery and explain the instructions for postoperative care at home.
Follow-up
I review your progress in consultation, answer questions, and adjust the treatment as needed.
