Do you have a satellite office? We have a band adjustment and follow-up satellite clinic in Columbus! We have so many patients from the Columbus and Cleveland area that want to take advantage of our vast experience and comprehensive team that we felt this was necessary to offer to our patients. We will expand these hours as needed. Do you have many out of town patients? Roughly 50% of our patients drive more than 2 hours to take advantage of our experience and comprehensive program. Keeping this in mind, we try to structure our system so that it is as convenient as possible for our out-of-towners, yet does not compromise your care in any way. We have patients from as far away as Oregon and Hawaii!
Can I get all my pre-op stuff done in one visit? When possible we try to accommodate our out-of-town patients to reduce the number of visits you need to make to our office. However, you must be serious about surgery and ready to proceed for us to consider this, as we only have a few spots each week for these types of visits and they are in high demand. Once a month on a Wednesday we have a seminar at 9am followed by new patient consults and our psychologist is in the office for psych evals, so you can complete all three of these steps in one visit! If you cannot make it to a 9am seminar, you can download the presentation and watch it from the comfort of your own home. Gas is really expensive, how many times will I have to come to Cincinnati after surgery? Because we have a fluoroscopy machine in our office, we can reduce the number of trips you will have to make. We are sensitive to the fact that traveling by car is much more expensive with our new times of $4/gallon gas. Of course you can always take advantage of our Columbus satellite clinic! Where can I stay when I come to town? Our office is conveniently located right off of I75 and only 3 miles from I71. We recommend the Wingate Inn - Blue Ash - 4320 Glendale-Milford Road, Blue Ash, Ohio 45242. 513.733.1142. This is about a mile from our office. Amerisuites is nearby within a few miles as is Hannaford Suites.
It's hard for me to get there during the week, can I come on a Saturday? Yes. Our "Saturcare" program for out-of-town patients is on the 1st Saturday of each month from 8am-noon.
How far are you from the airport? The Greater Cincinnati/N. Ky airport is only about 20 minutes from our office. Just take I-275 East to I-75 North then follow the directions on the "Maps and Directions" page.
Do you use fluoro for adjustments? We have fluoroscopy access right in our office, so we will be able to give you a much larger 1st adjustment than many surgeons since we can see your level of restriction right on the screen.
Can I rideshare with another patient? We have lots of patients from all over the country, we will try to put you in touch with someone in your geographic area so you can rideshare. Also there is a section on our message board where you can post a message to find a ride.
