Start with a virtual consult
01

No referral is required to request a private consultation. Dr. Lazare 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. Lazare 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:

  • Share your symptoms, diagnosis, and the activities your condition is affecting.
  • Provide your medical history, recent imaging and reports, and any additional information requested by your Surgical Solutions Network patient advisor.
  • Prepare any questions you would like to discuss about treatment options, expected recovery and next steps.

Once the required diagnostic and medical information has been received, a consultation is typically booked within two weeks. Timing depends on your medical needs, the information required and appointment availability.

Imaging review/ coordination

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: 

  • Recent diagnostic imaging and reports
  • Other medical records or test results. 

Your Surgical Solutions Network patient advisor will explain what to send for your consultation. The team gathers this information so Dr. Lazare can assess your diagnosis and the nature and severity of the pelvic, uterine, ovarian, fallopian tube or vaginal condition 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.
