Out Of Town Patients - Traveling Guide
Step 1: Out of Town Patients Consultation Options
Fly in for a Consultation
Usually, this option is preferred by out of the patients. ut we realize it may be difficult due to time and cost constraints.
2. Virtual Consultation
If a Fly-In Consultation Is Not Possible, for your convenience, we offer Virtual Consultations.
To begin your Virtual Consultation, we ask for you to complete our on-line New Patient registration forms and email several photos of your areas of concern. The photos are emailed to a secure server and will be viewed only by Dr. Castor and the Surgical Coordinator. Dr. Castor will then make an assessment and customize a treatment plan with a written quotation of all fees involved.
The cost will vary by the procedure you desire and the complexity of your case. The surgical coordinator will contact you by phone or email to schedule a telephone conference with Dr. Castor. Alternatively, if you prefer a virtual experience, we can set up a FaceTime, Zoom, or Skype call. This further enables Dr. Castor to assess your concerns directly through your device’s camera.
Step 2: Out of Town Patients Scheduling Details
First, we help out of the town patients select their surgery date. Then, based on Dr. Castor’s recommendation, we schedule your pre-operative appointment 1 to 2 days prior. Next, we collect a non-refundable $500 scheduling and booking fee. You’ll need to complete the final payment in full one week before your surgery date.
After that, we will either email or mail your pre-operative packet, depending on your preference. This packet includes key details and consent forms for your review. We will review the paperwork and any related questions before or at the pre-operative appointment. To prepare thoroughly, we also coordinate any lab work or diagnostic testing in advance of your arrival. Typically, your pre-operative appointment lasts about one hour.
During this time, we finalize your custom rejuvenation plan, review all consent forms. Also walk you through pre- and post-op care, take pre-op photos, and lock in your post-op appointments. The pre-operative appointment typically will last 1 hour. During this appointment, we will finalize your custom rejuvenation plan and review the consent forms. Subsequently, review pre/postoperative care, take pre-operative photos, and schedule your post-operative appointments.
Step 3: Pre and Post Surgery Guidlines
Your surgery would be performed at the fully accredited office surgical suite using an experienced team of anesthesia providers, registered nurses and surgical assistants. Alternatively, some procedures can be performed in the Tampa Palms office under local anesthesia and sedation. Due to the anesthesia, you will need a driver. If you do not have one, we can assist you with transportation to your hotel and home health care if you desire.
Step 4: Recovery Process
Depending on your surgery, plan on staying in the Tampa Bay area for up to 10 days. Dr. Castor will discuss with you before your surgery, if your stay may be less. Minor procedures such as Liposuction, Vaser Lipo, and LipoControl only require an overnight stay. Dr. Castor will see you post-operatively every two to four days following surgery.
Step 5: Out of the Town Patients Virtual Follow-up Appointments
We will arrange standard follow-up appointments via phone, FaceTime, Zoom or Skype and/or email with most patients sending post-operative photographs for review prior to the follow-up appointments.
Our job is to make you feel at home. While our first concern is the utmost in medical care, our team will be happy to coordinate a comfortable, relaxing stay here for you and your family while in Tampa.
