What does a consultation meeting with Professor Yoav Barnea include
The consultation with Professor Barnea starts with the clinic’s nurse Evelin for an initial anamnesis session with preliminary questions, and afterwards, the consult with Professor Barnea. The consultation includes general questions on your health and habitus, prior surgeries, medications, allergies, and smoking habits, followed by specific questions regarding the surgery or procedure in mind. Afterward, Professor Barnea will examine you and show you relevant pictures before and after surgery. In selected cases you will undergo a 3D simulation to better understand the procedure that you desire to undertake. The consultation ends with his discussion on the options for the procedure and his recommendations, followed by answering all your questions. Professor Barnea believes that patient's comprehensive education and realistic expectations are a key to high patient satisfaction after the procedure.
As part of the preparation for surgery, the clinic will refer you for blood tests (blood counts and coagulation functions), along with additional tests depending on the type of surgery that will be performed and your age and general health. Also, you will get a list of additional garments and dressings needed to purchase for the surgery. Once the surgery is scheduled, you will receive a pre-surgical appointment at the clinic that includes going over all the test results and explaining the preparation before surgery, the surgical stages and the recovery period after surgery. Professor Barnea will go over with you on all the details of the surgery and surgical recovery and answer all remaining questions and comments regarding the surgery. You will sign an informed consent form for the surgery, after going over all of the surgical details, including possible risks and complications. To ensure complete discretion, all personal data and medical information are stored in our secure information system at our clinic, which meets the most stringent standards of data protection.
