Out-of-Town Patients

Many patients come from out of town to have surgery by Dr. Green. To facilitate a pleasant experience, many of the prerequisites for the procedure can be taken care of through the mail, via e-mail or over the telephone. We will send a detailed questionnaire about your past medical history and other issues that may be relevant. If there are any questions, we might request that you obtain a medical clearance for surgery from your primary care physician.

If you are coming from out of town, Dr. Green will meet with you in the consultation room at the Surgery Center before your procedure to examine you and to answer any last minute questions. Or, if you would prefer, he can meet with you at his private office on a day prior to surgery.

Dr. Green's office and surgery center are located in Sarasota, Florida and are approximately 15 minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and one hour from either Tampa International Airport or Southwest Florida International Airport in Ft. Myers.
