How we work

Step 1
Consultation
At office 501. We review your case and the studies you bring; I tell you whether surgery is indicated and how it would be in your case.
Step 2
Written quote
You leave with the document: what it includes, what is left out, what can change it and its validity period.
Step 3
Policy and scheduling
If you come with insurance, the office reviews coverage with the insurer before scheduling. Then the date is set at the hospital.
Step 4
Surgery and follow-up
I operate, at Hospital Galenia. Discharge comes with written instructions and the follow-up visit is included.

What I operate

See procedures

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, through three incisions of about one centimetre when the case allows. One night in hospital in the usual scenario.

Mesh hernioplasty that reinforces the wall, laparoscopic or open depending on the case. It does not close on its own.

Appendectomy, laparoscopically when the case allows. If you suspect it, go to the emergency department: it is not an office appointment.

If your case is not on this list, write to the office. At the consultation we determine whether it is a procedure I perform and what comes next.

See procedures

At the consultation we determine whether surgery is indicated, explain the procedure and deliver the quote in writing.
