Out of Town Patients

Travel To Dallas For Surgery

Introduction

Traveling For Surgery

Many patients travel from all over the United States as well as all over the world to seek out Dr. Surjit Rai for their breast explant procedure. Dr. Rai and his staff try to make the experience as easy as possible for out-of-town patients.

Initial Consultation:

When a patient calls, they will be setup with a virtual consultation through either Facetime or Zoom. Dr. Rai’s office will send out initial paperwork to the patient to gather information for the consultation. The patient will send in some photos so Dr. Rai can evaluate the patient to determine what procedures they might be a candidate for.

Dr. Rai will then call the patient for their consultation and discuss their history and goals of the procedure. Dr. Rai will review the photos and discuss with the patient the best surgical options for them.

After the consultation, the patient will receive a formal quotation for the procedure and will be able to discuss scheduling and financing options. The patient will also be sent a list of local hotels and nursing services available to the patient.

  • The patient will be sent all consents and preoperative paperwork to review prior to the procedure. The patient will then pay the surgical fees in full. Dr. Rai will call in the prescriptions to the patient’s local pharmacy.

     

  • It is ideal for patients traveling from far away to arrive the day before surgery. This will eliminate any travel related delays that might cause the surgery to be rescheduled. The patient will arrive at the office and the surgery will be performed. The patient will recover and be discharged the same day. Some patients traveling from within Texas elect to return home the same day. Some will stay in town for a night. And still some patients will stay in town for up to a week to allow Dr. Rai to remove their surgical drains.

  • If the patient is wanting Dr. Rai to remove their surgical drains, he will see them when the drain amounts are low enough. Some patients elect to go home and have a family member, or a local nurse or physician remove their drains instead. Here is information for removing your own surgical drains.

    Dr. Rai will then follow up with the patient 2 weeks after the drains have been removed. If the patient is back home and doesn’t wish to come to Dallas again, Dr. Rai will have the follow up virtually or through a phone call. The patient will send photos for Dr. Rai to review, and Dr. Rai will discuss what to do moving forward during the recovery process. Dr. Rai will then schedule the next follow up appointment with the patient.

    As always if the patient has any issues or concerns then can reach Dr. Rai anytime and will be given same day appointments if they wish to come into the office.

    Dr. Rai is an extremely skilled doctor

    Dr. Rai is an extremely skilled doctor, a wonderfully kind person and truly cares about each and every patient. I had surgery 3/2/2018 and he called me several times to check on me ( even called me from the airport as he was about to board his plane!) to make sure I was doing well after my surgery. His staff is just as awesome!

    Hands down the most amazing Dr. I have ever met!!!

    Hands down the most amazing Dr. I have ever met!!! I was suffering from Breast Implant Illness, and he was very understanding, as this can be a very touchy subject with plastic surgeons. He listened to all my concerns, and was very compassionate. I also had a reduction with implant removal. I am 6 weeks post op and couldn’t be more thrilled with my results!!

    From the first consultation I immediately felt at ease with him

    Dr. Rai removed my implants. From the first consultation I immediately felt at ease with him. He listened to my entire story and provided helpful insight that I had not heard before. His front office staff is very kind and personable. After my initial consult anytime I walked through the front door they immediately knew who I was and greeted me by name.
