Seminars

We encourage you to register for one of our free educational seminars. During the seminar, the surgeons will describe each procedure, discuss the benefits and risks, and answer any questions you have. We will also explain the pathway to surgery, describe the benefits our program has to offer, and you will hear the stories of former patients.
