Traveling for Surgery

Many of Dr. Koh’s patients travel to him for his specialized surgery. As a traveling patient, there are extra things to consider when preparing for treatment, including transport and accommodation.
 
Travel Plans and Accommodation
Traveling patients are encouraged to arrive one or two days ahead of the pre-operative consult, which takes place the day before surgery. This allows time for delays and to acclimatize and adjust to the location and time zone before the surgery.

Each local clinic or hospital can provide a list of suggested hotels and in some cases certain hotels will have a patient discount, so be sure to ask when you book!

Most patients return home five days after their surgery but this may vary depending on the nature of your procedure and recovery. Dr. Koh will be able to help advise you on this based on the surgery he anticipates.
