Your First Visit

Your First Visit

At Dr Mistry’s clinic, the initial meeting is a pivotal moment for patients, setting the tone for the entire process ahead. Here’s what to expect during your first visit, from preparation to the subsequent steps in your medical journey.

How Long is the First Consultation?

The first consultation with Dr Mistry typically spans approximately 30 to 45 minutes. This valuable time allows the doctor to understand your concerns, discuss your goals, and provide essential information about the procedures. Following this consultation, you’ll spend an additional 10 to 15 minutes with Dr Mistry’s Patient Care Coordinator, who will guide you through the next steps of the process.

Preparation for Your Visit

To ensure a smooth and efficient first visit, there are a few essential preparations to keep in mind. Firstly, patients need a referral to schedule an appointment with Dr Mistry. It’s crucial to have this referral in place before your consultation date.

After booking your initial appointment, you’ll receive a text requesting general patient and medical details. For cosmetic patients, an email containing a Cosmetic Readiness Questionnaire will also be sent. Additionally, if you’ve undergone related surgeries in the past, bring along any relevant reports and documentation. Taking note of any questions you may have for Dr Mistry is encouraged, ensuring that all your concerns are addressed during the consultation.

The Consultation Process

During your meeting with Dr Mistry, he will enquire about your concerns and the specific areas of your body you wish to address. He will also discuss your results of the Cosmetic Readiness Questionnaire and give you an understanding of how this tool allows him to better understand your goals.

Once Dr Mistry has a good understanding of your goals and the result you are hoping to achieve, he will educate you on the procedure and what is involved to help you reach a realistic and desired outcome. Additionally, he will inform you of the potential risks associated with the process.

Dr Mistry may ask you to disrobe during this time to allow for a thorough examination of the target area, using a mirror to illustrate the areas he plans to treat. This is also an opportune time to ask any questions you may have about the procedure.

Next Steps in Your Journey

After concluding your initial consultation with Dr Mistry, you will meet with his Patient Care Coordinator. This step involves delving into the specifics of the surgical process, including the provision of a surgical quote, obtaining hospital and anaesthetic quotes, explaining consents, and discussing potential surgery dates.

For cosmetic patients, a second consultation and pre-operative photos will be scheduled by the Patient Care Coordinator. Finally, all patients will receive contact details to ensure seamless communication with the clinic before their next visit.

Dr Mistry’s patient-first approach ensures that each step is carefully tailored to your individual needs. By understanding the preparation, consultation, and subsequent steps, you will be able to make a well-informed decision.

A Newcastle Surgeon That Cares

“I care because it’s my job as a surgeon, as a plastic surgeon, to do the appropriate thing and to give you a good outcome. I want to leave knowing that I can tell a patient, hand on heart, that I did the very best I could and that I looked after them, so when I see them post op later that day or the next morning, that they feel they were in good hands.”
