If you’re considering plastic surgery, the best first step is to set up an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Wise by contacting one of his experienced Patient Care Coordinators. During your first phone call, a Patient Care Coordinator will ask you questions to get you prepared for your consultation and assist you with the calendar.
Prepare for Your Consultation
1. Bring Your Medical History With You
This includes any family history or past medical conditions, as well as current conditions and medicines taken.
2. Come With Questions And Concerns
Write them down ahead of time so you don’t forget them at the time of the visit. Getting plastic surgery can be a big decision, so you want to make sure that you have all your questions answered and all your concerns addressed, no matter how small they may seem.
3. Figure Out Your Financing Options
When considering cosmetic surgery, it is important to understand not only the surgical procedure but also exactly what it will cost. At Wise Center for Plastic Surgery, we provide complete pricing in writing during your complimentary consultation. We'll review your surgical proposal in detail with you to clarify all fees and financial policies. For your convenience, our office accepts all major credit cards and cash payments. We also offer financing through CareCredit with flexible and low-interest payments available for qualifying patients. To learn more or to apply for CareCredit, visit the Financing section of our page.
4. Bring Your Calendar to Your Consultation
Different procedures require different healing periods, so you should be ready to check your schedule to find the best time to get the procedure you want. You may need to take time off from work, depending on the surgery, so you should factor that in as well. Do you have vacation days you are able to use? Do you have any big events coming up in your life? These are questions you will want to ask yourself in selecting a surgical date.
5. Consider Bringing Someone With You To The Consultation
Again, getting plastic surgery is a big decision, so you may find it helpful to discuss your options and get a second opinion from someone you trust. Ultimately, the choice is up to you, but it never hurts to get reassurance from a friend, relative, or other loved one. Additionally, any minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
If you do all of these things to prepare for your visit, we’re sure you will have a successful and productive consultation with Dr. Wise, and you will leave the office feeling confident about your upcoming procedure.
Please note all cosmetic services are not covered by insurance and must be paid in full prior to the date services are rendered. If a patient elects to move forward cosmetically, they do so with the understanding that we will not accept the assignment of benefits, nor will we submit for coverage thereafter.
