Accordingly, Dr. Wigod consults with his patients about the desired anatomic change and motivation for undergoing surgery. He also explains the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the operation. He then performs the procedure in a safe environment and does not conclude until the optimal results he can achieve are obtained. After the operation, the surgeon and staff provide complete care including pain control, education, and problem solving. Dr. Wigod's training in General Surgery helps ensure his Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgeries are approached with caution and professionalism. Dr. Wigod's office staff may provide you general information over the phone and then send appropriate brochures for you to read. If you schedule an appointment, all consultations are with the doctor and last until your questions are answered. Dr. Wigod hopes for the opportunity to help solve your Cosmetic or Reconstructive Surgery problem. Your satisfaction is his goal.
