Instructions for Out of town Patients
For patients who are traveling from out of town to see Dr Delgado, we will make every effort to accommodate you and make your experience as comfortable as possible. Our San Francisco office is conveniently located 30 minutes North of San Francisco International Airport and our Novato office is 40 minutes North of San Francisco. You can email our office at info@dr-delgado.com and request a phone consultation with the doctor detailing the changes that you desire and email or mail photographs of the areas of concern. It is most beneficial to send front and side views as well as a back view when applicable. Also include whether or not you have any medical conditions and any medications, even vitamins or supplements, which you may be taking. Once these have been reviewed, Dr. Delgado will call you and discuss your situation with you personally.
If you decide to schedule surgery, you will receive detailed pre- and postoperative instruction booklet from our office. Our office can also assist you with making local arrangements. If you are able to spend some time in the area, Northern California has a lot to offer, you may want to check out these two web sites for fun things to do while in town; www.visitmarin.org and www.sfcvb.org/ both have listings for hotels. We recommend The Best Western Novato Oaks Inn www.novatooaksinn.com which is only a mile from our Novato office and surgery center.
Dr. Delgado prefers that patients arrive at least two days prior to surgery. This will give you the opportunity to meet with him personally and to make all final arrangements with our staff. You should allow sufficient time to stay for your recovery. Recovery time duration, of course, depends on the extent of surgery you have. In general, most patients are able to travel one week following surgery.
