ABOUT VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS
Information For Out Of Town Patients
2 year old boy underwent surgery to remove congenital orbit dermoid cyst.
Dr. Taban and his staff treat patients from all around the country and around the world. Patients from Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and the Middle East travel to have their procedures performed by Dr. Taban and then enjoy their new look while recovering in the Beverly Hills or Santa Barbara area.
While longer distance travel can be more involved than other commutes, our concierge staff are experts at logistical coordination and can help arrange for transportation, lodging, and even nursing care while in Beverly Hills or Santa Barbara.
When discussing a consultation with our staff, we will do everything that we can over the telephone or email to ensure that you are a good candidate for plastic surgery before making your appointment. If it’s not likely that your trip will be worth your time, we will let you know it up front. You can send photographs of your eyes (either through the website or email to office@tabanmd.com) in order for Dr. Taban to evaluate your problems and goals.
WHO IS A SURGICAL CANDIDATE
Should your virtual consultation deem you a candidate for surgery, a telephone or video consultation can be set up between you and Dr. Taban so that he has the opportunity to review your situation and goals in detail. Your experience and education should be no different than our local patients and our office strives to provide seamless service and care for traveling clientele. Once you and Dr. Taban have had a chance to discuss things, our concierge staff will help make your pre-operative arrangements and coordinate your travel and your stay.
