Hello, my name is Dr. Encarnacion. I'm a surgeon.

What happens at a surgical consultation?

A surgical consultation is a meeting with a surgeon to talk about whether an operation may help. Family members often come along.

The surgeon reviews earlier test results and scans, then asks about symptoms, health history and medicines. A physical exam often includes listening to the heart and lungs. Next, the surgeon explains the possible operation, its benefits and risks, and other choices. Recovery is part of the talk too. More tests are often ordered before any plan is final.

Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your surgeon can explain what applies to your own case.

Thanks for watching.
