Have your condition and imaging reviewed before travel.
No referral is required to request a private consultation. Dr. Vescan offers virtual and in-person appointments. Before your consultation, the Surgical Solutions Network team gathers the medical information needed to review your condition and surgical needs. During your consultation, Dr. Vescan reviews your symptoms, medical history, imaging or other diagnostic results, overall health and treatment goals. He answers your questions and recommends a procedure and surgical approach tailored to your medical needs.
Before your appointment:
Once the required medical documentation has been received, a surgeon consultation can often be arranged within 1 to 2 weeks. Timing depends on your medical needs, the information required, and appointment availability.
Send your imaging and medical reports to your patient advisor. If you need help sharing your scans, the team will support you through the process.
Depending on your condition, the information needed may include:
Your Surgical Solutions Network patient advisor will explain what to send for your consultation. The team gathers this information so Dr. Vescan can assess your diagnosis and the location and severity of the condition affecting your nose, sinuses, throat, salivary gland, or skull base during your consultation.
If you decide to proceed with surgery, our team helps coordinate the preoperative testing, surgical care, and discharge planning needed for your procedure.
