Blood Work & Other Testing

Because many of our patients travel great distances and will need to have surgery within days of our initial evaluation, we require the following tests be performed by your primary care doctor prior to your initial visit and to bring the results with you to your appointment.
 
Should the patient not have the necessary testing, it would delay any surgical procedure that may be required.
