Out of Town Patients
Patients travel from around Florida, the United States, and internationally, to seek Dr. Greene’s surgical expertise. If you do not reside in South Florida, Dr. Greene and his staff will be happy to help coordinate this experience for you.
Remote Consultation
Dr. Greene offers consultations via email or telephone for our out-of-town patients. Please contact our office to inform us about your procedure of interest. It is best to send your photographs (multiple views if possible) for Dr. Greene to review. Dr. Greene will contact you by your preferred contact method (telephone or e-mail) to discuss your suitability for surgery and desired results.
You will also be informed about recovery time, risks and limitations associated with surgery, in addition to surgical costs. Our office does provide financing options for our patients, and we would be happy to review those with you.
Procedure Scheduling & Pre-Operative Visit
After speaking with Dr. Greene and receiving an initial remote consultation, a pre-operative visit will be scheduled. Dr. Greene requires a face-to-face consultation prior to surgery. Often, only one trip is necessary, as the pre-operative appointment can be scheduled the day before surgery. Some patients desire more than one visit prior to surgery, and we would be happy to accommodate this request.
Planning Your Arrival
If you are planning to have your surgery with Dr. Greene and your remote consultation has been completed, there are several things that can be done in your hometown prior to surgery. Some patients may require blood work, an EKG, and medical clearance from their primary care physician. This will be determined on an individualized basis after your consultation. These results should be emailed or faxed to our office at least one week prior to surgery.
You will need to have an adult with you throughout your stay. If you do not have someone that could accompany you, we can arrange for a private-duty nurse to take care of you after your surgery.
Accommodations
Many options are available for your stay in Ft. Lauderdale. Our staff can help you arrange hotel reservations and provide you with a list of recommended hotels. We also prefer that you stay in a location that is close to our office and surgery center.
Length of Stay
Post-operative visits vary depending on the procedure performed. In most cases, the patient will be seen the next day after surgery. For most procedures, a stay of 7 days is recommended or required for optimal results.
