What is the timeline for coming out to California for Surgery
There is no need to visit CEI or Dr. Roberson in person to schedule the surgery. All surgical recommendations can be made remotely. Of course, if you wish to schedule an appointment to meet Dr. Roberson in person before making a final decision, that is perfectly acceptable.
The patient and their family must arrive in California at least one day prior to their scheduled pre-operative appointment, which is generally the day before surgery. There are many good hotels in this area for longer-stay types of accommodations, and a Ronald McDonald house at Packard's Children's Hospital is only 2 ½ miles from the clinic. Assuming there are no complications, the patient can leave any time after their second post-operative check which is generally a week after the surgery.
The patient will need to complete the follow-up regimen with their local ENT described above, and Dr. Roberson will consult by telephone or e-mail with that ENT if necessary.
