03. Your Consultation with Dr. Samson
Dr. Samson has cared for thousands of patients over his 20 year career as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Patients tell us Dr. Samson’s kind, caring demeanor instantly put them at ease and we are confident you, too, will have the same experience. During your consultation with Dr. Samson he will listen to your specific areas of concern, ask questions to ensure he understands your expectations, perform a physical examination of your areas of concern, walk you through the specifics of how your surgery or procedure will be performed and will finally make recommendations for how you can best achieve your surgical and non surgical goals.
04. Charting a Financial Plan
After your one on one consultation with Dr. Samson, you will be given a financial quote that will be honored for up to six months from the date of your initial consultation. The Patient Care Team will review the planned procedures with you and walk you through the financial plan, including itemized procedure prices and facility, anesthesia or additional fees, if applicable. If you undergo multiple procedures, you may be eligible to receive bundle pricing.
05. Scheduling Your Surgery
Some patients are further along in their Plastic Surgery journey and are ready to schedule their surgery right away. Others are just beginning their Plastic Surgery journey and need time for additional consultations with other Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. It is not uncommon for patients to return for a follow up consultation just to feel confident they are making the right decision.
To facilitate procedure scheduling, we encourage you to have your calendar with you. It is our desire to accommodate your window of availability, however, our first available surgery appointments are often 8-12 weeks out. As such, if you are planning to look great for a special occasion, we encourage you to come for your consultation at least two months prior for non-surgical treatments and four to five months prior for surgical procedures, to account for scheduling and recovery. If you have a specific time frame for surgery, do speak with our Patient Care Team about your scheduling preferences.
06. Following Up
Before you leave your consultation, our Patient Care Team will make a plan for following up with you within a few days of your visit. Please know that we are available to you to answer any and all questions you may have that may come up along the way. Oftentimes patients will call with questions after having seen a 2nd or 3rd plastic surgeon and want to revisit certain topics- we welcome all questions and are here to help you every step of the way.
You may also receive Post-consultation and Post-operative surveys from our office. We would appreciate feedback about your experience with Samson Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, so feel free to let us know how we did in exceeding your expectations.
07. Staying in Touch
We will call, text or email you to remind you of scheduled appointments, and when it is time to make a routine appointment. We may also call or write to notify you of other treatments or services available at our office that might help you. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will email or call you with an appointment reminder, and/or leave you a reminder message on your home or cell voicemail or with someone who answers your phone if you are not at home. Please let us know your preferred method of communication.
