Many patients come from out of town and want to book procedures the same day as their consult.
The consultation process usually starts with an email and phone call to Joy Lindlief, our patient coordinator. She will listen to what they want to achieve, then discuss with Dr. Grossman to determine the most customized plan. To make this process as smooth as possible, we request patients to send photos to Joy so that she and Dr. Grossman can look, review and plan to combine as many procedures as the patient desires within safety limitations.
While Dr. Grossman usually can ascertain what you desire accomplished, the plan is only tentative until she sees you in person.When you return home, your post procedure care will continue via ongoing telephone calls, in-depth emails and virtual follow-ups. We will always be here for your questions and concerns.
HOTELS
Out-of-town patients stay at a local friend’s home, in a hotel with a friend or relative accompanying them, while others will travel to Los Angeles for their procedure on their own. If someone is on their own and receiving general anesthesia, we prefer they go to Serenity aftercare center for at least one day. Not all procedures require the stay here. Below you’ll find some of patients’ favorite lodging options.
Next door to Serenity after care, the Ambrose is the most convenient hotel for patients traveling. This is a small hotel across the street from our office and does not have all the guest amenities of the larger hotels, but it is incredibly comfortable.
