At Capitol Lipedema Care, we believe that a thorough and informative consultation is the key to ensuring the best possible outcome for your lipedema treatment. Here's what you can expect during your consultation:
- Initial Meeting with Dr. Khalifeh: Your consultation will begin with a one-on-one discussion with Dr. Marwan Khalifeh, where he will listen to your concerns, medical history, and symptoms. This is your opportunity to ask questions and share your treatment goals.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: During the consultation, Dr. Khalifeh will perform a detailed assessment of your condition, including a physical examination, to determine the stage of lipedema and the most suitable treatment options for you.
- Understanding Your Options: We take the time to educate you about the surgery process, including the benefits, risks, and potential results. We will also discuss the possibilities and benefits of using insurance vs. not using insurance. You'll leave with a better understanding of how the procedure can help improve your quality of life and what the next step for you will be.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your evaluation, Dr. Khalifeh will develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. This may include discussing surgical options, expected outcomes, and recovery details.
- Questions and Concerns: Our team will be happy to answer any remaining questions or concerns you may have. We want to ensure you feel confident and comfortable moving forward with your treatment.
- Scheduling and Next Steps: If you’re a good candidate and decide to proceed with surgery, we will inform you of the steps you need to take for insurance approval, or for our out-of-pocket patients, in scheduling your procedure and providing you with all necessary pre-operative instructions, so you feel fully prepared for the next steps.
The consultation process is designed to give you all the information and support you need to make an informed decision about your lipedema treatment, with the goal of achieving the best possible results and helping you regain your confidence.
