Getting In The Office
When you need to go to the doctor for a routine examination or to have an X-ry for a medical issue, it’s best to schedule your appointment as soon as possible so that you know you will have a place in the office. There are a few ways that you can make an appointment.
The first thing that you would probably do is call the office to make an appointment for service. This is the easiest thing to do, but if the nurses and office staff are on the phone, then you probably won’t be able to get through. You can leave a message, but your call might not be returned until later in the day. If you want to make sure you have an appointment, then go to the office to talk to someone at the front desk. All of the insurance cards can be copied, and you will be able to see the worker write down the date and time of the appointment. You will also be able to get a card with the date and time before you leave the office. Another option is to make an appointment online. You can usually choose from one of a few dates available that will suit your schedule.

Surgical Specialists Help You Get Back on Your Feet
The thought of going under the knife might feel you with dread and make you worry constantly. When you select the right specialist, you can feel better and more confident about going through surgery. Surgery can help relieve the pain that you feel, reduce the problems associated with certain medical conditions and help you get back on your feet.
Types of Surgeries Available
Gallbladder surgery is one of the more common types of operations. The symptoms of a gallbladder attack may include an unexplained pain in your side, vomiting, nausea or pain when you use the bathroom. The doctor can use special tools to go in through your belly button and a few other incisions to remove your gallbladder quickly. You may find that you need surgery to remove a tumor on your rectum or on another part of your body. The doctor will ensure that you understand the surgery and what you need to do later.
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery, also known as Lap Band, is a type of surgery designed to help those who are overweight or obese lose weight safely. The doctor places a band around the stomach that reduces its size. This keeps the patient from eating more because the patient has less room in his or her stomach. Patients can lose 100 pounds or more after Lap Band. Bay Surgical Specialists and other local doctors and facilities can answer any questions that you might have before you schedule your surgery.
