What to Expect when Scheduling Foot Surgery

by Dr. David R. Northcutt
Dr. David Northcutt is a podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon at Dallas Podiatry Works in TX.
“Hi, my name is Jessica, and today I will go over the process of scheduling surgery. Unfortunately, sometimes conservative care may not always work, and at this time, either of our doctors will go over surgical intervention.

We offer two locations for surgery. Either Merit Drive Dallas Hospital, or North Central Surgical Center. Surgery will consist of a few fees. First will be the doctor’s fee, second will be from the anesthesiologist, third will be from the surgical center of your choice, and the last may be a pathologist, and that’s if needed. You are responsible to contact the surgical center of your choice, as far as their fee.

We will have you come into our office two weeks before your pre-op appointment, which will consist of the doctor’s fee, going over all of the paperwork, taking bloodwork, and it’s highly important that if you have any sort of short term disability paperwork, that you bring this at this time. We will also dispense your medications, which will be called into the pharmacy of your choice.

Our doctors will inform you if you may need any surgical clearance from any of your other healthcare providers. We try to make the surgery scheduling process as comfortable as we possibly can. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Thank you for being our patient, we are honored to be part of your healthcare team!”

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
