INFORMATION FOR OUT OF TOWN PATIENTS

Patients frequently visit our practice from out of state. We make every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Here are some helpful suggestions to maximize your comfort and minimize your time away from home.

1. We will require that you complete a general office information sheet and a history and physical sheet prior to your office appointment. It is important to include if you are a smoker and your use of medications prescribed as well as over the counter and herbal products. Some surgeries such as a face lift Dr. Ward requires you to stop smoking at least 2-3 weeks prior to the surgery. We will review your use of medications and evaluate usage before surgery. PLEASE NO ASPIRIN OR ASPIRIN PRODUCTS at least two weeks prior to surgery. Patients 35 and older are required to have a mammogram prior to breast surgery.
