Frequently Asked Questions

Problems

Every patient’s recovery is different; therefore we can only give you a general description of what is normal. If you are concerned that you may be having a complication, please don’t hesitate to call us at any time. Most questions can be answered over the telephone or via the online patient portal if you prefer. A physician is always on call to handle emergencies, but they will not be able to answer questions about our protocol or instructions, for these you will need to consult my nurse during regular business hours.

On-call doctors are also not authorized to call in any narcotic prescriptions. You will have to go through the inconvenience of going to the ER if you need these and have not planned in advance. Refills for narcotics must be arranged through my nurse during regular business hours. It is rare that refills are required because we provide a generous amount at the time of discharge that almost nobody uses up.

Phone Consultation

If you are interested in determining if you are a candidate for surgery, please mail your completed new patient forms to the office and include a digital x-ray. Dr. Gross will call you back to discuss your options.
