Making Appointments:  choose whichever way is most convenient for you

If you have medical records (not mandatory but helpful) you can send them to us by email or fax.  Please fax ONLY the ‘procedure description’ portion of your records - usually a 1-2 page typed note describing the ligation). After the doctor reviews them we will give his report by email.

1) Email:  you can to make your appointment by email for convenience, just email for your paperwork and let us know the date of your choice.

2) Phone:  if you prefer to discuss your surgery with a doctor in advance you should call to make the appointment.  This is your consultation call and you can make your appointment at the same time.  011-52-899-871-1586 - or - 011-52-899-132-2614 - daily (including weekends) 8am-8pm central time

There is also a printable checklist to help you with making your appointment and arranging your travel.  

Pre-Op instructions:  If we have your correct information, you will receive your pre-op instructions approximately 5-7 days prior to surgery.  Please email us ASAP if you have not received your  instructions a few days before your appointment.  If we do not hear from you the week before your reversal date, we may assume you are not coming.

Choosing your date:

Please choose a date that is best for your reversal surgery.  If you are able to pay a deposit immediately, we can schedule with as little as one week's notice - otherwise try to allow at least 2 weeks.  The calendar listed below will show any open/closed dates.    Note - these are general times and guidelines; occasional exceptions and changes may be made.   Currently scheduling to the end of 2010.  Information below is subject to change so please check back.

Calling for consultation / Emailing the office

Our physicians speak fluent English / Spanish.  If you call to make your appointment, be sure to ask any questions you may have.  A pre-op evaluation form will be sent upon scheduling or in advance if requested - the evaluation will allow the doctor to give you an  estimated cost for your surgery.  All patients must fill out the evaluation form. 

• (Dr. Levi)- 011-52-899-871-1586 - or - 011-52-899-132-2614 - daily Mon-Sun 8am-8pm (central standard time)

If your information changes, please notify us immediately.  It is the patient's responsibility  to maintain contact with our office.  If we are unable to contact you, the appointment may be cancelled without notice.  All email correspondence is in English unless otherwise requested.

2 very important details...
We respectfully ask that you do not make your appointment  if you are unsure about the date, your funds, child care, time off work and various other issues.   This is unfair to other patients and very inconvenient to the hospital staff and other doctors with patients who willingly arrange their schedules around international travelers.  We understand that 'unexpected'  problems can arise,  but please contact us immediately for assistance if that happens.  Please remember not to make unchangeable travel plans until your appointment has been confirmed.   We cannot schedule your surgery 'around' your travel plans. 

Because we rely mostly on email communication, it is the patient's responsibility to make sure we have your contact information.  If we cannot find you, we cannot work with you - so keeping in touch with the office is mandatory.
