San Benito Surgery

During the consultation appointment Dr. Wittenberg will discuss with you the possible treatment options. It is important that you have a written list of questions for the doctor, though you can ask him the questions which are important for you. This list is very helpful, because it is very easy to forget your questions during the consultation process. Dr. Wittenberg will ask you about your main concerns and will also perform an evaluation of your face. Using your concerns and the findings of the examination, the possible treatment plan for you will be discussed. Dr. Wittenberg will describe to you the possible surgery with the incisions, the area of improvement and the risks and benefits. The information you received is probably overwhelming at first, but don't be frustated, if you have questions after the consultation, you can call or return for a second appointment. Also the possible preoperative blood
tests, X-rays and EKG will be discussed with you. We like you to bring a friend for the consultation appointment. This makes you more comfortable and often your friends are asking valuable questions. We also show you pre and postoperative pictures of patients, which were treated with a similiar procedure. Financial questions will also be discussed during this appointment if you wish so. We
usually require the full payment of the surgical fee on the day of surgery. The consultation appointment allows you also to see our office and the operating room.

It is important to keep in mind that the consultation is there for you to have questions answered and to get familiar with Dr. Wittenberg and to see if he is the doctor you can trust with the surgery. The feeling of confidence in your doctor is very important for both of you. During the visit you will also get familiar with our staff. With our staff you will be able to discuss questions, and often times the patient may feel more comfortable asking the trained staff questions instead of the doctor.

Please, call us or come back for another consultation, if you still have unanswered questions after your first visit.
