Out-of-Town Patients

Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz, our experienced cosmetic surgeon, frequently has patients coming to our practice from out-of-state to have surgery. If you’re from out-of-town and are considering traveling for surgery, our helpful team has developed a protocol to make your experience as seamless as possible. When you’re ready to start your surgical journey with Dr. Gryskiewicz, the following steps can help with your surgical journey.

First Step: Arrange a Virtual Consultation

Email Lexie at [email protected]. In your email, we ask that you include your first and last name, phone number, date of birth, the procedure(s) you are interested in and when you are looking to schedule surgery.

Upon receiving your information, our team will call you to set up a virtual consultation with Dr. Gryskiewicz. After you have met with our doctor virtually, our surgery coordinator will reach out to discuss your options via email or telephone. At this time, we will also be able to give you a cost estimate for your procedure(s). Our office provides plastic surgery financing options for our patients and we would be happy to review these with you.

Second Step: Reserve Your Surgery Date and Meet Your Surgeon

Once a surgery date has been determined, a 20% surgery scheduling fee is required to reserve the surgery date. This scheduling fee will apply toward your surgical costs, but will not be refunded if you cancel within less than 18 days of your procedure. A pre-op physical will need to be performed by your family physician within one month of your surgery. Payment is due in full 3 weeks prior to surgery. Payments can be in the form of a cashier’s check, credit card, or one of our financing options. (Payment details will be on your “Fee Quote Sheet” that you will receive via email).

All details have to be agreed upon before you arrive for your complimentary consultation so that Dr. Gryskiewicz has everything he needs for your surgery the next day. When you arrive, he will perform a thorough examination and discuss everything in great detail with you. If at the time of your visit your plastic surgeon decides that you would not be a good candidate for surgery, your payment will be returned to you and surgery will not be performed.

Third Step: Post-Operative Follow-Up Visits

Dr. Gryskiewicz strongly recommends that patients stay in the Minneapolis area for a minimum of 5-7 days after surgery. (Different procedures require different lengths of time. These details will be discussed during your virtual consultation). Our office staff will work with you to best accommodate your schedule post-operatively.

Aftercare & Nursing Services

You will need someone to care for you for at least 24 hours after surgery. If you do not have a caretaker, we can provide you with local healthcare information. (This service would be an added expense for you). Please see below for local nursing options.

Nursing Services

If you are planning to undergo a tummy tuck, our team recommends arranging nursing care so you can focus on healing during the initial stages of your recovery. There are a number of local services we work with to help provide patients with the care they need. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery today.
