During Your Consultation

At the consultation, Mr Gittos will collect a thorough history of your medical health and background, including past health, medications, and operations. He will then get a clear understanding of what you are hoping to achieve and your expectations from surgery. Mr Gittos will also undertake a detailed physical examination to assess your clinical situation and suitability for surgery.

Mr Gittos will accurately explain your options for surgery and the process involved. You will be taken through a detailed explanation of the benefits as well as possible complications and risks of surgery. While this is not meant to scare or alarm you, it is essential and part of Mr Gittos’ duty of care to you. Be very wary of any practitioner who has not outlined similar risks and complications of surgery.
